It is an indicator of mindset shift in the larger populance.

In a word where mobile and web apps are becoming more and more popular, calling a product a 'software solution' or an 'app' does not immediately make it obvious where the software will run.

Adding the word desktop makes it stand out to the audience who is looking for desktop software (and presumably who don't want to setup server side software, fiddle with cli or use an externally hosted orchestration service).

I recommend embracing the new reality that a vast majority of consumer grade software in present day world does not target desktops.
