Looked up, thanks. Seems you can't grant or revoke that permission. I don't understand why having it at all if you cannot change it.

I use my own system, based on LineageOS [1], which comes with settings to block internet permission on any application. It's one of LineageOS' features. ( On top of that I root my devices and use AFWall+ [2] which also creates a configurable firewall with iptables. )

Well, one use it has is to know when to stay away from something that requires it despite not needing it. Do not install such application.
