As far as I know, Maven provides following ways to fetch build
dependencies:
1) Get dependencies from a global Maven repository. This requires a
connection to internet. Some environments prohibit an internet
connection. Also on slow internet connections, getting tons of
artifacts from the global Maven repository during the build may be
difficult.
2) Get dependencies from a Maven repository on an Intranet server.
3) Get dependencies from a Maven repository on the local host.
You & people in favor of your point seems to say that 1) above is
the best/only method. But clearly, 2) is also another method. Of
course, 3) above is also yet another method for fetching Maven
dependencies.
Your company can also run its own maven repo server (such as Nexus),
that can hold both your company's internal maven artifacts and proxy
to external maven repos like maven central. Then when you need a 3rd
party artifact that is not in maven central, you can simply load it
once to this repo and none of your developers need to do anything.
