How does blocking internet access of MapKit protect the user? MapKit does't allow random internet access and can not be used to abuse the users data. All internet access that is happening here is going to the Apple Maps server and this traffic is fully controlled by the system. So no danger at all for the user.
Whereas WebKit is working just fine in QuickLook (the macOS comes with QuickLook extensions for URLs and web locations) and here random unrestricted internet access is possible.
