It is not exclusively targeted at browsers, although the browser's Origin-based
security model is required for sane client identification. You can totally
access remoteStorage accounts using desktop apps, a proof-of-concept exists at
https://github.com/untitaker/vdirsyncer.

Synchronization is a completely unrelated topic. I don't see how it's related
to whether the protocol is targeted at browser applications, in either case
offline sync has to work. And it does.

I don't understand what you mean with "linux container micro-service based
architectures", or how it is related to this discussion.
