No, I think you're correct. The reason being is that you're interacting directly with the browser application rather than the web application the browser is serving up... The browser is a Desktop application and, while you're not TESTING it, you do need to interact with it.
Hmm,
My organisation has Web and desktop floating licences, so that might be the difference, but my tests don't use a desktop licence and still work.

How do you know that example you posted does not use the desktop license? I think it does. Thanks.

Smartbear's licence manager tells us which user is using which license. All the desktop licenses are used by other users, but my user is only allocated a web license. It could be however, that Smartbear has a "Remote only" kind of user that can dip into the desktop license without using it, which would mean that the desktop licence is still required without "using" it.
What tristaanogre says about the browser being a desktop license does make sense though. I just don't understand their licensing structure and method well enough to comment.

Just a further note on the above:
If it is because it requires a desktop license, it comes into play even earlier than when you try to access BrowserWindow methods in script and that may be why I can find it without technically tying up a desktop license. BrowserWindow(0) is available for me to map in the Object browser right off the bat and I was able to NameMap it:
This is unfortunaly the extent of what I can assist. I haven't tried any other means of downloading files yet, sorry.
