Office ran on Windows, which itself ran from MS-DOS. Doesn't seem particularly different to me.

The comparison to Word is completely invalid, because Word is itself one of the applications, while the browser isn't a webapp.

Not quite. The comparison is between Outlook and GMail. And my point stands - the web was (and hence is) designed for hypertext, not applications.
