An additional advantage of such wide margins is that you can use black reader instead of a white one.
With narrow margins, black frame very close to the text is bad for eyes, so only a white reader can be used - the plastic frame serves as an extension of the page, an additional margin. 6" or 5" reader always has to be white or light gray.
So, with wide margins you can buy a black reader and on a black reader the screen looks whiter which is very pleasant.

I am surprised to see that it is bad to have black margins with eink and text close to the margins (bad for your eyes) while reading PDFs is on PC. Like that is not bad for the eyes. Why the heck am I trying to get away from reading on monitors then? It must be something wrong with my eyes.

I believe each one of us has his own sensibilities and intolerance to reading on different devices.
