I continue on finding that these techniques are mainly hacks wasting 
resources.

One big interest of web applications made in the classical HTTP request way is 
that they do not consume any server resource between requests, and do not use 
persistent connections.

As soon as, on the server side, you can share your session files and your disk 
data, you can put your application in many different servers and so easily 
increase the power of the application and have fault tolerance. A machine can 
crash during your session, and you may not see it at all.

And a desktop-like application in a browser is something like NoMachine / X11 
without NoMachine and X11 after all...
