That’s true, and it also doesn’t deny infinite other things. I don’t think there’s any reason to think it will require an internet connection though. None of their other games do. I don’t even think you need to be online to play Natural Selection 2, which almost only exists as an online game.

Then why not just say something more like “we plan to support and continue to improve on the game after release.”
Saying it’ll follow a “live-service model” does nothing for anyone these days.
