Having access to internet could be important for looking up docs and things like that.

Yeah — you can develop in a container that’s configured to only allow local access. Your machine is connected to the Internet as usual, so you can access any docs you want or whatever, but the actual execution environment running on your machine can’t. This is pretty easy to set up in Docker, for example. It’s also useful because you can have the same exact dev environment no matter what machine you’re on, OS you’re running, etc.
