Computers require instructions (which programs and software basically are) from somewhere. Usually the location of most convenience is in local storage, which is the closest.

In order for a program to be Web-based, it has to be hosted on a server somewhere else. The idea of having a Web browser hosted somewhere would make the purpose redundant (as in defeating the purpose since you'd have to get on the internet to browse the Internet).
