It could have been. The platform got taken over by a very different culture and has tended to serve different purposes.

The web solves problems that are almost impossible to properly solve with a terminal, particularly with rendering of more complicated languages and display and interaction with sophisticated visualisations.

Pushing the terminal further while maintaining compatibility, performance and avoiding a terminal war with incompatible protocols is going to be a struggle.

Unless someone creates a cross-platform, open source, modern and standards compliant terminal engine [1].
