We have a single OOB app, a dashboard and app launcher. It has to launch Excel, word, Silverlight, Access and a couple of more esoteric apps. That can't be done in a browser. We have it set up so it prompts the user to install on the desktop and auto updates, no clickonce. Other than that I see no requirement for OOB Silverlight apps. It is nice to be able to get rid of all the browser crap surrounding the app without maximising the app (F11).
