 >> The fact it is not must be because of limitations in the interactive
subsystem.

That's one heel of a leap of logic!

The answer is probably a lot simpler.  How about:

 - Java is slow relative to RPG
 - RPG has excellent native support for subfiles etc.
 - IBM charges a hefty price for interactive cycles
 - A lot more iSeries programmers know RPG than Java
 - Most people don't want new green screen apps - they want browser

And that's just a few of the more likely causes.
