Is it that cumbersome to install an application?

Compared to just clicking a link and immediately having it working, yes. Installing software also has much bigger security implications than just visiting a website. And that’s if the application even works on my OS!
Not having to install something does not even start to be "the most empowering thing we've ever invented" in my book.
