Intel® Driver & Support Assistant now requiring local network access?

Why is Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (DSA) now requiring local network access to function?  This seems out of scope for the tool and a bit invasive.  If I decline, the tool does not work or scan my PC.

Totally concur with this. Seems excessive.
