Many ATMs are just running a web browser with appropriate plug-ins for
running the hardware. It's much easier to add new features to 100,000
machines that way than it is to go around with secure storage operated by a
trained technician updating the machines. I.e., for all the reasons any
other business creates an intranet instead of a desktop app.
