It's meant to address original findability issues with online apps, not launchability. The wonderful thing about app stores like android Marietta and the iPhone appstore is not that they add an icon to tour desktop. The wonderful thing they provide is a unified way to find, compare, purchase and launch apps. Something the web - and web applications - both have been missing for a while. It's the logical extension to Google's mission statement of indexing the world's data. The only difference is this time it's adding applications to the mix; seeing as the web is slowly (but surely) converging with the desktop, this is actually a bold and brilliant move.
