The 'cause' section only spoke to termination during the term of the agreement.

Read this slowly.

Jetblue had a 'no furlough policy'. That was a sinister marketing slogan.

Instead, ... if the Airline provides notice within 5 days of the Agreement expiration date (“Renewal Window”), this Agreement will not renew. IOW your contract term is over and with it the 70-hour guarantee.

That is the no furlough policy.

Yes, being furloughed is a benefit compared to being non renewed.
