Are you sure? It is 683 MB, which is about the same as a live CD. And
in the images directory of the CD there is an install.img. I think the
net connection is only needed for installing additional software from
the repos.
ls -n images
total 593462
-rw-rw-r--. 1 0 0 10473472 Jun 21 22:55 efiboot.img
-rw-r--r--. 1 0 0 575209472 Jun 21 22:53 install.img
-rw-rw-r--. 1 0 0 22020096 Jun 21 22:55 macboot.img

There used to be a true netinstall, that did everything from the net,
and it was really small, see below. I loved it, but it fell by the
wayside.
menuentry 'Boot BFO' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux16 /bfo.lkrn
-rw-r--r--. 1 0 0 302675 Feb 26 2017 bfo.lkrn
However, I will take your answer as meaning that this is no longer a
supported option in the netinstall image. Maybe that can be removed
from the netinstall image to make it a very small download if it is no
longer needed.
