One advantage of the web is that you can browse, discover, and test new apps directly inside your browser without needing to install anything on your system. Image you had to install a software any time you visit a new interactive website or check out a new webapp.

I'm curious to see the second part of the article!

Sure, that is an advantage but I wouldn't say it is a strong advantage.

With app stores I can view screenshots and videos before installing the software. The app runs in a sandbox and I can uninstall it very easily.
