If you can run the processing on the client side, then you can scale up much, much easier and provide whatever service much cheaper, or even free. Eg, you can provision fewer servers, no need to build a processing queue or load balancing setup, if the input is provided by the client then you use less bandwidth by avoiding a round trip on that, etc.
