I use a few MA apps, none of which have declared the internet permission. Nor would I ever want them to have internet access.
But a few MA apps actually do require internet to work for their intended purpose, and I will never install one of those out of fear all the MA apps "secretly" talk/share/IPC my data with eachother, effectively granting all the non-internet apps the internet permission.
I'm not saying this is happening. But I'm also not about to delve into the entire codebase to find out.
