They've had reflective color LCDs for years:
And of course color E Ink, too:
It must either be really expensive or they just think that reflective LCD doesn't "pop" in the store like your typical oversaturated "who can tell if this is any good with these settings" display.
Supposedly this thing will enter mass production soon:
That and some people think that because you need a light on the side a lack of backlighting is a bug, not a feature. I wonder if frontlighting could work on those reflective LCDs…
