> Define "internet" and then have a crack at defining "internet accessibility". Those things are quite specific to individuals. orgs and so on. Connectivity is way too complicated for a simple, naive check.

This is asking for the true Scotsman. This is designed for the 99% of users where internet access is a ternary "yes, no, needs credentials". The "naive" check is enough for them.

Also, as far as I know only Windows has defined settings to disable this check and assume that there's a connection (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-clien...). At least you could disable this if you need to, because Android don't have a similar setting.
