Integration between websites (aka. web applications) is surprising easy, to the least extent, one website can trivially link to another website, just a matter of entering text, (arguably) no code, no compilation, everything needed is the URL. One website can be embedded into another easily with a little bit of work using iframe, again, (arguably) no code, no compilation.
Look at the way we do desktop development, things are pretty complicated. We need to figure out the platform differences, we need to study the specific and probably pretty complicated programming interfaces (such as COM+), we need to choose a language, we need to code , need to compile our code, etc.
Web was born with interoperability, web was born with support for links. The power of open standard also make HTML the only language web applications speak.
It will be interesting to see how the desktop development (or mobile development, or whatever locally running model) and web development will merge together in the near future.
