Most of the latter-day examples of independent leagues before the current batch -- the post-WWII Mexican League, the various leagues in Vermont and Quebec, and so forth -- were indeed outlaw leagues. Earlier, there were examples of leagues that didn't go a-raiding other leagues.

Personally, it seems to me much of OOTP's growth in terms of features and capabilities has been done on an ad hoc basis rather than necessarily with any long-term specific goal or vision in mind. Users request certain features, Markus codes them in, adds a few things which interest him, puts out the game, which in turn garners more feature requests, and so on.
That is my impression as well.
