Requiring an internet connection for normal development seems a bit extreme. That rules out using it in many places in the world where the internet is slower or less stable, and even here, we have developers who work on their commute with no internet connection.

That's certainly true. Useful Lambda code (i.e. lots of functions cooperating to do something, likely using a variety of AWS services) can only run in the Lambda context. So it's not appropriate if you need to develop offline.
