No one wants to run a client on their own system, update it, wait for a gigabyte of blockchain to synchronize, and have personal responsibility for securing it. Kind of like how most people don't run their own web servers anymore.

Cryptocurrencies are owned by addresses. You don't need a local client that knows the entire blockchain to keep an address not controlled by the exchange(the so-called "light wallet").
