There are varying levels of "value", even within the government And there is a pretty fixed cost to implementing an air gap. So the question is: "does the value outweigh the cost?" I know there are networks in sensitive departments that are not "air gapped" and others that are. It's a cost/benefit determination each time to work out which things fall onto one side or the other. There is no hard and fast rule that says all data must be air-gapped. Otherwise no one would have anything connected to the internet!
