You could paint it that way, but I choose to view it differently.
The "new" terminals are far smarter. Nobody will ever confuse them with dumb terminals.
There are a wide range of popular form-factors (phone, tablet, TV, car, watch, browser, PC, signage, ...) where in the old terminal model there was one (~PC).
And the kicker: The "app" is now designed to not only SPAN all of those devices but to do so in a rich, people-centric way. That "rich way", by the way, requires huge client side computing resources.
Lastly, I said "people-centric" above because the actual equation for the new value proposition is:
experience = people + devices + cloud services
Note all entities are plural.
