Plus with a good code template as with any program a web app can be deployed as fast or faster than a 5250 app.

It used to be that 5250 was faster than web, but with html 5 and a good design the web can beat any typist. if you already know how to do all the "pretty" things in 5250 it is Ok, but if you have to learn your time will be better used learning web.

I do not think it is a good idea to spend time learning more about 5250 when we have a much better alternative with the web, and also with a better future.

I think of your statement of a generalization. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right?

Use the right tool for the job at hand. It's not always about "business apps" and it's not always about making money and it's not always about the typical ignorant end user, judging functionality by appearance, and it's not always about the typical pointy-haired boss.
