It's not reasonable. But this is the way the market evolved. The public uses "The Browser" and they expect their apps to be there. They don't want Windows apps and won't pay for them.
Basically what happened is Windows sucked and the public figured this out over time. So consumers switched to a new OS called "Internet Explorer" which sucks in a lot of ways but at least it doesn't break their computer while costing them a fortune.
"Internet Explorer" also came with a really good online app store, and most of the apps were free to boot. You could just click a "link" and the app would automatically download and run. Hands down a better operating system than Windows.
