simply doing “if server does not respond, don’t check anything” would be bigger flaw in design because that would mean just modify hosts file to localhost or something and the security check would be worked around.

But Macs already work fine with no internet connection, and apparently modifying the hosts file does resolve this problem.
Doesn't this bigger design flaw you describe apparently exist? I (and many others) did exactly that to get our machines responsive again, ocsp.apple.com 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file.
I don't understand what you mean.
This is how you could make Photoshop free back in the day. Add their stuff to /etc/hosts and voila
Modern Adobe cracks are note that different in nature
