Not just QGIS. The auto-download behavior is an opt-in switch for applications, it's not the default behavior. I can't find any application which use the CDN by default -- searching github for proj_context_set_enable_network only gets hits in proj itself. And I'd really like consistent behavior here, so that users who install QGIS through osgeo4w can get the same transformation results regardless if they use QGIS application, GDAL command line, or GRASS tools via processing... (which is why I keep coming back to the "screw it, this is too complex to solve case-by-case, lets just install them ALL for EVERYONE" option). That said, users CAN still enable this for any application by setting the environment variable PROJ_NETWORK. I'd be interested to hear results if someone on a proj 7 build wants to test how this actually impacts QGIS in practice.
