Because browsers are now application platforms, "the big runtime
machine" if you will. I for one have given up several desktop apps for
their online version, simply because they're much better in most
cases.

The fact you have a spellchecker built-in means that when I don have
to care about adding that when I'm writing my webapps. The available
processing power today is so ridiculous that the "bloat" in a browser
like Chrome is not even perceived as that - since it's so ridiculously
fast. The same holds true for Opera and Firefox (before you install
23876382764 extensions, of course).
