“and on top of it internet”

is internet a permission?

I've never seen that in any menu or prompt. I don't think Android has this. Which is a shame bc i mostly use offline apps and would love to know if an app is all offline

Understandably, I don't think Google cares about the offline use of their OS. It doesn't align with their business interests

The app needs to request it in the manifest file, but it's automatically granted if the app does request it - you don't get a prompt.
