My guess is that they wanted a single interface with a single codebase that works on all OSes, as long as they run a browser that supports it.
Having said that, they could just ship a HTML file and do it all locally instead of on the web. I still don't quite understand why they changed this, as the feature used to be built-in to their app.
I mean, someone like me would probably rather have them support Linux officially through some way rather than not support it at all...
