Oh I completely agree with what you describe. (I use exactly the MVC pattern you describe when I work on contracts to pay the bills.) Personally, however, I maintain that even at the level you describe the tools just don't exist to reduce the time significantly unless you give up native application feel. I.e. streaming the view, and just sending the input back. The web is a great start to such a system, but it still has a lot of hurdles to cross if it wants to be that platform (including performant (i.e. native) 3d rendering, NAT traversal for user ran applications (just switch to IP v6 already!), saving data client side, threading!, different input and display methods like you mentioned, ect.) I also have other, fundamental, problems (more like pet peeves) with the way the web is designed to work. But my main motivator is the massive problems I have with programming languages. I should probably start a blog...
