Once upon a time, JPEG images didn't open inline in a web browser. When you linked to a JPEG document, it would open in another application. They were resources that you could link to on websites, but browsers couldn't render them directly.
Were those JPEGs on websites not really on the Web? Did the first browser to implement an inline JPEG renderer suddenly add all JPEGs with URIs onto the Web?
Browsers don't define what's on the Web. What's on the Web is defined by links.
