Good for you with your fast, always-on internet, I guess. Some consumers have to deal with expensive and unreliable 3G internet (that downgrades to 2G occasionally) - an offline-capable email (or management) SPA is indispensable for them. Sure, you could write 4 native offline apps for MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android but that is a bigger investment than targeting browser standards.

SPA is orthogonal to storage, nor are lightweight web techniques exclusive to it, and often in opposition. Native email clients already exist of course.
