oh-my-zsh also checks for updates.

Batteries included can be nice.

When your batteries start to run their own webservers and phone home, someone mistook convenience for batteries.

I'm pretty sure that omz is not running their own webserver (correct me if I'm wrong here). It is just doing a git pull to update. [1]
