Now that OA is free, I think it's got the potential to really be a great tool for a number of things. Some will still see it as a way to modernize existing 5250 programs and I don't think that's a good use of the tool except in the hands of dedicated modernization vendors. But it certainly has the potential to allow enterprising developers to provide access (there's that word!) to technologies that RPG programmers might not otherwise be willing to invest in.
