A browser based application doesn't need to rely on the vendor's website being up any more than an executable based application needs to. It's definitely an option in each case but one does not imply the other. Distribution access becomes a pain point but in either case the answer is to find archived versions.

Properly archiving a website and making sure it works offline is another story: sometimes it is relatively simple, sometimes there are requests on backend servers and you'd have to reimplement whatever the backend is doing, and it can get a real pain to do.
