I think it happens when you get stuck in the past. The advantage that eink offers is shrinking rapidly. Mainly because there hasn't been a real breakthrough in a long time. Even first generation eink looks good in sunlight - not any worse than current apart from resolution maybe. Current generation lcd looks a ton better now than it did previously just a few years ago.
Glare free? Everybody that held an eink device knows that they are not glare free, to say otherwise is dishonest. Held at the wrong angle it is still possible to not be able to read comfortably. Granted, they have a lot less glare than other screens in tablets or phones. The advertisements that show a perfectly glare free Kindle next to a completely unreadable tablet? Sure, that is advertisement that required going out of your way to to make it so.
