On a greyscale e-ink reader, I fail to see how glossy is a benefit. Even the PW4 isn't really glossy. It's just less matte compared to the PW3.

The PW4 popular because it's a Kindle which has a good mix of features and sells at an affordable price especially during frequent sales. I've got multiple of them (JB backups) but if a more matte display similar to PW3 was an option, I would've preferred that.
The display of the PW3 is better then the PW4. That's because of the flush screen of the PW4. My guess is that the PW4 is the same flush screen as the PW3 but the light layer and/or the touch layer is away from the screen to make it flush and that is making the screen less clear.
