Real World Trading (RWT) refers to the act of selling items that you do not own for a profit. If you are selling in-game gold, items or services for real-life money, you are real world trading because the items or services (the accounts) are the sole property of Jagex and in doing so you are trying to sell something that you do not possess.
The act of buying a Bond and exchanging it for in-game gold is not considered RWT because you are directly purchasing the Bond from Jagex, whom are the ones that own all of the rights and properties of the game. It becomes a problem when someone -- a player -- tries to profit from merchandise/goods/items/services that belong to a different entity than the one trying to benefit.
Think of this example: you own a farm. Someone steals your crops. Such person then tries to sell those stolen crops for profit. The person is selling something that doesn't belong to them and something that's stolen. Yea, you aren't "stealing" your own items in-game if you sell the for real-life money, but you are breaking the rules by selling third-party property.

It is very simple actually:
Jagex makes their rules. They can say what is RWT and what is not. They can say what is legal, allowed and what's not.
Perhaps you can look at how OSRS handles 3PC and get a better understanding. When they didn't want 3PCs, they threatened to sue and shut them down, but a year later they allowed them. They were still the very same Runelite and HDOS, but the rules are different.
Same thing in selling bonds. Jagex makes the rules on the same bonds. When they sell them it is legal and not RWT. When the others sell them, it is RWT. It is all about Jagex making their own rules. Now, in a hypothetical scenario some day when Jagex decided to operate like Steam or other NFT based games and allow Bonds to be traded among other players, then they could just change their rules and all of a sudden it would not be RWT anymore.
