Do you think about just one PC for running (A server and a client all-in-one)?
*Database
*Web container (Application Server)
*Application
Do you need internet or LAN infrastructure for a Desktop Application?
There are some little questions which results in "costs" for the little grocery, so its ludicrous thinking about thinking they are more expensive?
So returning back to the main question:
Desktop applications will be there always or will evolve into another technology?

You don't need more than one PC or tablet to run a web application and there is no need to have it networked either; although setting up a small network these days is simple and cheap.
I think the real question was asked and answered already and it revolves around data security and the perceptions of it, and also about both the needs of the business and how either approach might satisfy these as well as how well they each will in the near future.

And the infrastructure is going to need to be there in any case. The supposed situation of a business with a non-connected PC just isn't realistic. For example, a store that cannot accept credit cards isn't going to be in business long.

There is a lot of "Office programming" going on. It's just not done by programmers. It's done by people who understand the business side of things.

You really need Java (and web servers and the internet and the cloud blah blah) when you want to scale up. When you need to build something that hundreds/thousands/millions of users need to use, or you can to process billions of records of data in matter of minutes, or you want to take advantage of the resiliency of the Internet, or you want to build something that allows many users to collaborate.
If all you need to do is store and retrieve data for one person, your PC is more than capable of doing it, and Excel provides a good enough front end.
