Further to the Checking With Apple Servers saga. macOS is so beholden to checking in with Apple…
You can’t open or save a file without the OS checking the Application’s permissions/malware status with Apple servers. You may have noticed the slowdown, when such a simple local operation as opening a file dialogue should be instant. [Much discussed on ATP.}
