Have you ever seen a googler work? They do nearly everything on their webapps, and the programmers live in source control. There was an article from a while back as to why Google wasn't working on gdrive faster and one of their engineering managers was quoted as saying something to the effect of "why are we syncing files? Who needs files, we have everything on the web". But unfortunately I can't find that reference right now. But it doesn't seem too far a stretch to think that some web-heavy companies prefer web solutions with as "stateless" clients as possible.
