I'd hazard that google doesn't see a need. I like this but I can understand that they may feel that you don't get extra features and isn't worth the work to create and support the app/program. The likelyhood is that if they did make a desktop client that it would be something similar, i.e. it just loads the webpage in a nice looking window. Which chrome does a pretty good job of already.
