Advantages:

Eventually, this can be a one-stop shop for 90% of the small text-based (and related) tasks that people need to accomplish.

The Facebook app is 300MB+ on most phones, yet many people install it even if they only use it sparingly. Even if the utility site became very function-rich, there is no way it would even approach that size.
