Isn't this also true of nearly all installable keyboards on mobile devices?

On iOS you currently have to explicitly allow network access to third party keyboards in the settings app (the not very clearly named "Allow Full Access" toggle), which as others have pointed out, is disabled by default on all newly installed keyboards. I have no idea how this works on other popular mobile device platforms.

Probably yes, through at least by default on iOS custom keyboards don't have network access.
