Really simple. I don't feel that I should be locked into a format ie online whether or not it is visible to me or not. I often travel to remote locations with no online access and I 100% expect my software to work seamlessly in that mode. I especially detest browser based formats of any type. It's a buying decision that doesn't need justification IMO.

As for the concept of it being an alternative, I'd be concerned that one or the other mode would suffer in quality due to split priorities. That's why I wouldn't support it with my money.
