Too many people have stated their ereader screens have broken, even the little ones, and manufacturers have not extended this type of screen, why? Is it a matter of cost? Planned obsolescence? Inertia? Ought they change too much their factories?

You say too many people. If screen breakage was a problem, then I am sure the manufacturer would find a solution.
I think I have read that 100 people have broken their screens.
So let's for arguments sake say each of those people represent 10 people since roughly only 1 in 10 will comment. Oh let's make it 100. That is approximately 10,000 broke screens.
That is not a drop in the bucket of ereaders. I can't remember if there are at least 7.5 million ereaders or 75 million.
I have yet to see a screen that broke due to a defect in the device. Every one I have read about was a user error at one point in time or other.
I hope this answers your question.
