This allows for lightning fast rendering and the perception by the user that all of this data is actually in their browser. With the enormous caveat that you need to have a low latency to their server to get this illusion of client-side rendering. Considering that they only have this cluster of K80's close to them, geographically, and not a number of clusters spread out globally, this isn't a usable example in much of the world. Now, I don't expect them to roll out K80 clusters world-wide just for the sake of a demo, but it's still pretty important.
