Why does everything turn into a browser

  Because Jamie Zawinski was right and also wrong. Everything evolves into a browser, which, yes, can also read email.

  Why does everything turn into an app that includes a browser to display a web page?

  Mainly due to extremely lazy developers and/or a generation of developers who only learned very very high level web languages and don't understand anything deeper and so are completely detached from actual memory allocations or resource usage. Since this is coming from Microsoft (which isn't new - the Vista clock widget would interrupt all the time, very inefficient), it just highlights how far from the tree the modern apples have fallen.
