Why not? Seriously? Okay, people have come to expect more, I suppose; largely thanks to apps for smartphones. But as long as my web browser allows me to... well... browse the web, what do I need apps for? (Other than the usual stuff like Adobe Flash, etc.)

Also not interested in "Cloud" computing at all. All my data is stored locally, with a copy on a 2.5" portable if I need it anywhere else. And I'll run any apps I need off my PC/laptop as appropriate.
