What I see are users who claim that they received a string of Paperwhites that were all defective. And, I received four that weren't. I suppose it could just be luck.

I think that both variations in devices and user perception are factors. There definitely can be differences between e-ink screens for the same model e-readers--I've seen this with my own eyes.
And I'm also certain that some users can see and are bothered by differing shades/tinting more than others. I'm sure there are users that can see differences that others simply don't notice because their eyes don't pick up the difference in hues. Others probably see the varying hues but aren't particularly bothered by them, while still others see and are bothered enough to want to return the device.
