I see your point, but please note that there are more Info readers
than just the standalone Info and Emacs are.  The other readers are
less known, I think, but they still exist and support GUI-like
features.  TkInfo is one of them, for instance.

So if someone doesn't like the standalone reader and doesn't use
Emacs, they still have some alternatives before turning to a Web
browser.
