I've looked at screenshots of Little Snitch and I don't understand why it's so interesting.

Isn't this what e.g. Zonealarm has been doing for 15 years on Windows?

Zonealarm back in the day did something similar, yes (I haven't used it recently so I'm not sure what it does now). Little Snitch is the OSX equivalent :).
