> I can't think of a single Android app that I use that doesn't have an equivalent desktop/web app that's optimized for a mouse and keyboard.

I can. E.g. my phone settings manager, my TV provider's remote app, my main screen of multiple widgets, my local TV station's weather app w/ notifications, etc. Also, in many cases for web apps w/ mobile app equivalents, the latter are easier to use and snappier. Finally, though less useful, this can give an app developer a sandbox in which to embed his app upon distribution and be able to target Android and Linux assuming the app is simple.
