To be fair, it’s the application developer who requests the application’s permissions and it is possible to release an app without internet permission.
I agree that the OS should have a way to override the permission, but it’s not Android itself just giving out internet access by default. It’s more that it’s almost every developer’s default setting when building the app.
The best example of no internet permission in an app off the top of my head is Hacker’s Keyboard – and you can understand why the developer chose to avoid it.
