Since many "native" applications nowadays are just web applications.

You can have a nice web app at work, which you would update from times
to times (let's say you come once every 2 weeks at work to make the
updates), rest of the time you work from home or directly at a
customer's office, and you have your application offline which you use
with your browser. (and you can still work online but your application
isn't, and it's possible that you can't connect to your office network
if the offline application/use is well defined and organize, you won't
need any VPN)

Seriously, there are now plenty of reasons to work offline with web
based tools, and there are now plenty of web based tools. It's a
relevant argue.
