I suppose you mean the "Chrome Apps". they are just shortcuts to the web version of these tools, not the actual tools.

You're right. They are indeed web shortcuts.

But that doesn't change the fact that they show up as apps in the Launchpad.

Even worse, as I just discovered, they can't be deleted from the Launchpad! Neither do they show up in the Applications directory! WTF!
