Do you mean by that we are losing DPI achieving colours?
As I understand from your explanation the only possible way to add more colours could be overlap eInk layers, making them thiner. If this is it we will end having monochrome ereaders to read and thick big display ereaders to work/watch videos, etc
As for the lighting being trapped problematic, maybe it will solve the problem having a low backlight and then the usual eReader frontlight. Keeping the backlight at a very low brightness would be a must if we want to keep the eyestrain-free environtment common to eReaders.
I don't know about ClearInk or other technologies development or functionallity, but maybe this 4k colours it will be what we have until those other technologies develop properly on next 5 years
