If you want useful answers it pays to use words according to current usage patterns. The term "e-reader" is - surprise surprise - typically used for those devices whose primary purpose is
reading e-books. When most people on a site like this see "e-reader", the devices that first spring to mind are Kobo and Kindle and Nook, because that's what most of us are using and calling an "e-reader" - so it seemed perfectly obvious to me people were going to misinterpret your OP.
According to the front pages of their product websites: reMarkable is NOT referred to as an e-reader. Sony DPT is NOT referred to as an e-reader. They do this intentionally because they don't want people buying the devices with inappropriate expectations.
The Onyx Book Note Pro apparently does refer to itself as an e-reader, but its sales blurb is almost entirely focused on the ability to annotate rather than read e-books. (I would say that their blurbs make me think annotation - rather than initial composition - is the target for the device.)
I don't try to write on my Kobo e-readers because that would be completely stupid - they're just not made for it. I do use the highlighting capability as a form of annotation.
If I got my hands on an e-ink device with an operating system designed for writing I
might try it out, but I'm not going out of my way for one. When I want to be mobile I have a notebook computer that does the job quite neatly without needing to learn new software specialised for dealing with e-ink screens.
