Well, actually running MATLAB (or any number crunching software) as a webapp makes a lot of sense -- You get to run the core processing on a potentially higher performance server.
At work, we routinely use Xwindows or VNC to connect to a remote machine running MATLAB: more processors, more memory, better OS..
A good example of such webapp is the Sage Notebook.
