I was happy with the Aura for years and years. Then I got the Glowlight Plus, 3 and Clara HD in quick succession. Suddenly the Aura looked gray and almost unreadable.

EInk readers don't advance with the rapidity phones and tablets had, but each incremental improvement is an improvement. I have not seen any of the regression you mention.
The displays, unlit, are objectively darker. You can place older Pearl devices next to Carta ones and see the obviously darker background consistently. I find that a regression regardless of other tricks added. People wouldn't read paper books with pages that dark.
