Ciaran has a point here. Thomas, you assumed that network-sandbox is
the only thing stopping an ebuild from accessing local services or the
internet. However, even with network-sandbox being enabled such
behaviour would still constitue a major bug which would be fixed by the
devs.

So yes, network-sandbox (and same goes for ipc-sandbox) is mainly a
debugging aid for developers which will help them spot such problems
more easily.
