I know what you mean. Although - just considering plants (as we know them) doesn't have thinking functions ----- they don't have a 'want' as such. But to be able to stay alive, there will be a range of conditions that can allow the plant to stay alive for relatively long periods of time ----- to just keep going.
There can be conditions where a plant can survive with pretty much little to no air-flow - for months or maybe years. One example is inside a sterile flask with adequate nutrients in there, among other essential components.
The difference when the plant comes out of the flask - where other things from the environment can infuence the growth and/or health of the plant. So even outside of the flask ----- little to no air-flow can be encountered too ------ but doesn't always mean a bad outcome. The health of the plant will depend on what is in the environment, and how the plant is treated (and provided) - also including defending the plant against attackers.
Although - in general, it is beneficial to have some air-flow for general growing areas.
