I don't think most people can realistically use a Mac (or PC) without ever connecting to the internet.
The Windows community reacted to similar behavior by Microsoft by creating several scripts and lists of servers being used to phone home. I guess something similar will be created for macOS although the actual packet filtering will have to be implemented on the router rather than the host.
I want a computer that I can use for music without internet. Only connect for software upgrade. Very simple. And I don't want to use linux or freebsd. Mac used to be for pros, not it is just for hispsters.
