When exactly did we forget how to make literally anything that can perform a computation but (physically, hardware-level) not have the ability connect to the Internet?

With these companies spending the kind of money they are, if they actually mean what they say about the security risks, they should be expected to figure out those kinds of precautions and take them.

And build Faraday cages too, just in case of a hardware supply chain compromise.

We cannot compute anything without internet access and a Facebook account.

Networking companies (like Cisco, HPE etc.) do this all the time with their test beds deliberately disconnected from internet. It's not hard.
