Wrapping existing tools is not a problem but you are getting nothing more than a wrapper. Hell, you can even run a web-based terminal and stick them in your own DO host for $5 a month. However, a lot of the security tools are side-projects so do not expect them to work all the time.
Distributions like Kali make it a lot easier but even then getting started may be hard and besides you need to run them either on your own box or a server and convince other people to use them too if you are to share the burden of doing security tests.
The secapps tools are designed to be a click away - always available with no installation or additional fiddling. Naturally we started with web tools but we are currently expanding into other areas too and in the future we have some cool ideas how to bring some powerful capabilities at your fingertips.
But yes, down the line, we would like to offer a hosted access of open source tools too.
