I'd call it a "yup," if we're talking about the point of an airgap. If I don't want executables contacting the outside world without my knowledge, and one is, then the airgap (or, more likely, firewall or suchlike) preventing that exe from being able to do so is a feature.

This does mean that certain programs just won't work, or won't work without some finagling. That's also a feature. The price of control is having to control things.

Granted, most people don't want to pay that price, and prefer convenience. That's admittedly not to my own taste - c.f.) log4j for a good example of why - but I think I'm maybe a little weird there. I certainly don't think there's anything audacious about catering to majority tastes. Maybe just vaguely disappointing.
