I can confirm this: it also does not happen on my machine. However, it does download some app images that are displayed in my start menu for apps that are advertised in a "play and explore" category in the Start menu. If I select Settings in the search menu it says "Online search isn't supported in your region". I can enable Online Search, but even then I need to explicitly select "Web" as opposed to the default "My Stuff" before it opens a browser and connects to Bing. This machine including privacy settings was migrated from Windows 8.1. When I installed that I selected custom settings and disabled most of the privacy sensitive settings.
