Internet access is not yet ubiquitous. There are also certain types of 
data that I probably don't want other people to have -- my password 
list, my detailed financial records (I use Quicken...I *do* use QuickTax 
Web, however.)

I'm not certain that an "offline app" in a browser is a good thing, but 
lord knows I've been wrong before.
