Most people have faster machines that they could RDP into when needing to test with a fully-featured browser. The key however is that this is a pretty rare need; you can do plenty of useful things without opening up a web browser at all.

You can do plenty of useful things without a computer too :-) but that is beside the point.

For business use you do need a browser. Fast, with security updates etc. For some people doing web development having access to professional products e.g. Adobe suite is a must too. And no, you can't do that on linux.
