It does not have to. But in my humble opinion the project could 
benefit orders of magnitude better if the amount of developers time 
needed to get such a web based approach going, would be spent at 
other areas. From the top of my hat:

* a unser friendly UI to simulation (plus a good stock of models)

* back annotation from pcb to gschem

* full scripting, both within gschem and within pcb

* a way to represent complex relations between symbols and footprints

* better support to deal with meta data (order numbers, pricing, etc) 

* push already layed ot tracks durcing manual routing

* an autoroute with a unser interface that can guide the router 
to produce results comparable to manual routing. 

* layout DRC that depends on the net 

* export of 3D models of the layout plus placed components

* import of 2D CAD data

and not the laest: ready to use windows ports

Luckily, sme of the objectives are currently worked on :-)
