Most business applications do not require color at all. And most software respond much slower than e-ink refresh anyway. The only thing that would not be possible on e-ink is to watch videos including most advertisements.

But bosses are people too who prefer eye-candy instead of a screen that is better for doing real work. There was a recent article how selling iPhones is less profitable to US network operators. And yet they won't reject the business model that is neither beneficial to them, nor their customers. And I almost hear voices telling me that it is the only way of doing things and it is impossible to change their business models despite almost the rest of the world providing much better service quality and higher user satisfaction for lower prices.
