It isn't insane, it's just an engineering tradeoff. Streaming a browser takes more of some resources, probably bandwidth, processing power for video decoding, and the cost of the remote hardware. But it takes less RAM on your local machine. If you are running out of RAM and not running out of the other resources, this tradeoff makes complete sense.
