I am using QB premiere Non-profit 2021, have been a QB user for 25 years. No salaries, no taxes, simple accounting.

I managed, way back in this thread, to stop QB calling home by using QB firewall blocking of the ports they use.

I do not use, nor want to use online services. I have not updated since Release 4P (R4_54) and do not intend to.

I have no integrates apps... all is offline, except I go online to email invoices, and print locally on my home/office network.

It works for me... although it just asks for local login now and again. That is also a nuisance as I am the only user. 

This is what I want, bookkeeping on a local device, backed up locally. Not cloud based. Sadly, Intuit do not like this as we do not pay by subscription. I was happy buying a full product every 3 years. Now I will stay on this until I can find another product for our non-profit.
