Thats only one side. On desktop when one application is compomised, all 
others may be also. And much of attacs are done throught acrobat  and 
others plugin or semi desktop application.

Many of client-server (desktop) application have poorer sercurity than 
web application. VPN only protect link machine-machine , but https 
protect application-application
And last but not least: on web much less data ar drawn from serwer,and 
the same when stolen local computer is not equal data stolen
