Most office workers only need access to Microsoft Office and a browser. I can definitely see a use case for having these at your desk and some people having a laptop that is not as locked down.

I am a developer and I was using AWS Cloud 9 exclusively for a year until it was deprecated because it was much faster working with a lot of data in a VM hosted on AWS than it was on my local PC even though I did have 1GB symmetrical Fiber at home.

It was definitely a better experience working with a cloud IDE when traveling for business with much slower internet.
