This does have the obvious problem that you need a PC / Tablet / Laptop to connect to Amazon EC2 in the first place so why not just use that.

In this specific example it's a problem because a fair bit of local software is required. If you set it up so that all you have to do is VNC or RDP, possibly over ssh, all you need is a USB key and access to a computer to get access to your computer.
