I think people expect browsers to go outside the LAN, though? I don't expect a termainal like iTerm2 to be sending out network requests other than maybe to see if there's an update. I think people in IT, especially ones where security is core, like that sort of thing. That said they could courteously request it get turned off rather than freak out over it (it is free after all), but I think people don't like surprises out of staples like a terminal.

You're missing the point though: the only real argument I've seen for this being extracted altogether is a corporate environment where the existence of this feature would be enough to get the application blocked. OP is questioning why that would be a reasonable approach for an IT apartment to take—if they already block OpenAI then the feature won't do anything even if configured. If they don't already block it, then there are almost certainly people in their company using OpenAI with the browser. Network level blocking is easier and more effective, so why should iTerm2 have to go to contortions to remove an already opt-in feature that would be easily blocked by a network block?
