That's one specific example where it wouldn't. That doesn't mean "no it wouldn't" for all cases.

Ah, so you admit there are cases where it would.

How about if (like many people) the actual problem is that the backlight on the LCD is too high, which is causing the strain. Will an eInk screen make that better... yep. Will turning down the backlight (if they can) make it better... yep.

There are probably multiple solutions to their problem. One of them could be eInk, it depends on exactly what is the cause of their eye strain. Dismissing it outright just shows an anti-eInk bias.
