Yeah, web-based apps absolutely rocks out nowadays, i got agree. And more when all the people can connect to the web for less than $10/month (specially if u’re using shared connection such as in a student’s residence where paying about 5 bucks u have quality internet easily for a month).

That’s rare not to find out a computer with at least one navigator installed, even in smartphones or another kind of portable/tiny devices. So, i think when you buy a webapp not only going to have it always accessible and instantly, you can also access it from virtually any device with an operating system that supports web browsing.

And yes, like you i think programming in this way will kick all the asses whose wanting crack your production.

But I think also that there are certain limitations when trying to develop some more complex and responsive programs, and for those situations there are those who choose to create client programs installed like another desktop application more, such as occurs with applications like spotify or several twitter clients natively developped in C for windows or objective C for macOS.
