Unfortunately, not true. Many webinar frameworks use client-side Java applets via the browser. Many student information systems (like the one we are saddled with) use client-side Java applets via the browser. We use a web-based version of the NX Client from No Machine ... that's client-side Java via the web browser. And there are probably more, but those are the things I've used today.
