I've had an Android e-ink device of some kind for five years now. I'm well aware of those limitations. Because of the limitations of e-ink technology, and because most apps are not designed with e-ink in mind, an Android e-ink device will never fully replace a standard Android color tablet or smartphone.
Furthermore, if you know how to set up Calibre, you can read just about any eBook you want on just about any device you want - Kindle, Kobo, Nook, or whatever.
So, why buy an Android e-ink device?
If, in addition to eBooks, you want (or need) to use certain apps that are primarily about reading (as I do), and, if you find that e-ink is easier on the eyes than most LCD displays (as I do), then, an Android e-ink device makes perfect sense, as it does for me.
As it happens, the apps I want to use on my Android e-ink device (though they weren't designed for e-ink) look fine on e-ink, and the texts themselves look great. That's good enough for me.
Other people will have to make their own call on whether an Android e-ink device meets their needs better than some other device. It all depends on what you want to use it for.
