One more point for the desktop application: Navigation.
I've worked with many applications that are intense data entry - and the best ones can be 'driven' entirely from the keyboard. You don't have to reach for the mouse to make selections, etc. Of course, there are those users that don't know where the TAB key is...
Trying to fill out forms on the Web? Only about one half of the web pages I encounter can even set focus to the first fillable field - let alone navigate the entire page efficiently. (bank login pages...)
But, we mostly just put up with what we are given.
I was surprised years ago (and somewhat still am) with how low the bar got set on what was an acceptable UX on a website. Much of that would have NEVER been tolerated in a desktop app.
