You're ignoring the "living on their desktop" part.
Sure, you can make "private" branches (not actually private) with SVN, but they're still on the server. That means:
1. You can't commit to them (or check out from them) when you're offline.
2. Commits, checkouts, diffs against older revisions, etc are slower when you are online.
3. Bisecting would be painful because of point 2.
4. You can't make a bunch of commits and fold/reorder them with something like the HistEdit extension because someone may have seen them.
