I do see why some people would like larger screens. But my point was just that at some point, new models won’t actually add to core the reading experience. They’ll just encourage consumerism through a policy of planned obsolescence.

A 10.3" screen is better for PDF. But a 10.3" screen does not have to be all that heavy as it can be plastic backed and a lot lighter then one with a glass backed screen. Also, if you can get a stand if need be. A heftier battery gives more life to the Reader.
Kobo might be the best company in terms of obsolescence as they support most of their Readers with the current firmware. So that's a very good thing. Keeps the old models going with new firmware.
