Expect "Please enable internet access to use this app" popup messages in this case. A lot of apps already do this with camera/photos access.

Given the need for almost all apps to have network access, I feel like this would become another website cookie popup that people just click through.

i.e. Has the right intentions but just ends up forcing a worse user experience for everyone.

And location, including demanding “precise” tracking (why does Apple even let them detect that?)

Apple could ban that if they wanted to. Basically just require that as much functionality as possible should work without internet.
