>I also really enjoy the fact that I can install Play Store apps directly from my desktop web browser.

Totally agree. Very similar to the Amazon "Whispersync" for kindle. I loved stumbling on an app online that looked interesting, click install, and next time I take out my phone it's just there ready for me.

I recently switched to a iPhone 5S from many consecutive android phones, and this is definitely on my list of things I miss.

I think you can actually do that now. Although I believe it syncs everything you buy/get from any device. So it's not as selective where you can just press 'Download' and it goes to the device you choose.
This might help iphone users: http://teleapp.me/
you can do that with itunes
But that defeats the point - the point is that it's nice to be able to just click "install" from a browser page, and it ends up on my phone.
And with Windows Phone.
