There are many other applications for monochrome static displays as well. Durable always beats fragile. It is all contingent on cost.
It should make larger screens more practical. The larger a screen is, the more it tends to flex, so they more rigid you have to make it, because the current screens tend to break if they flex. But if the screen can flex without breaking, the devices can be larger and lighter.
