But code is not the only thing that forms a program. There is also the 
need for the graphical interfaces, which is usually written in HTML+CSS. 
Also, interacting through a web browser is different from a native 
system. You need to take into account the different types of screens and 
devices.

And all of this costs money, in both developers and servers. Executing a 
webpage every time you need to run a program costs more than just 
downloading and running locally.
