The web browser is not some magic tool that is always guaranteed to work. Group policy alone can wreck total havoc on web apps on all the major browsers.

This would be noticed immediately when all of the workers under the group policy try to access their email in the morning

Some people should probably only be given thin clients, because they are too inept to be allowed to handle anything else.
Not sure yet how to solve this problem on the Internet yet though. How can we prevent uninformed masses from creating incentives for businesses, that turn the web into a dystopia?
The webapp doesn't care if someone's machine was down overnight or if the paranoid lady in design managed to install some local "antivirus" which blocked the updated rollout or if the manager of sales has some unique setting on his machine which for some inscrutable reason does silly things to the new version. If their web browser works, the inventory database works for them, and they're on the latest version. If their web browser doesn't work, well, your support teams would have had to eventually take care of that anyway.
