I don't think it's a mistake. Having open(ish) on an e-ink device makes available literally a plethora of software. Sure, a lot of it doesn't work perfectly, or at all, but a lot is usable. For those of us who are willing to work with a less than perfect experience, and like to play, Android on e-ink offers huge freedom.
The other type of Onyx user wants to use it for PDF annotation and hand-writing. They want everything smooth and perfect, like a Kindle, but with different features. Onyx walks the line between the two types of consumers, but probably the academic PDF reading types are the priority as they seem to have more cash in general.

Yeah, it's probably the colors more than the animations that cause problems. Onyx has done a decent job of trying to deal with LCD-style animation by providing app settings and different A2 modes.
