Besides, if your workflow isn't mostly browser based (+extensions) then you're still stuck in the 90's and I feel sorry for you.

some of us need locally installed apps that require some much more serious grunt than offered in a browser

if your work is mostly browser based, then you're well on your way to becoming a PHB - congrats.

for those of use doing real work, local VM's, Visual Studio, to name just two of them - leave us alone with our workstations

and some of us are also in environments where we cannot use cloud based services, and often cannot access the internet at all.

thin clients are suitable for some users. Chromebooks are suitable for some users. Heavy duty workstations are suitable for some users. there really is no "one size fits all"
