No, plenty of studies show LCD & OLED is inferior to eink for reading. It's more tiring to eye muscles. Refocusing on reflections. Also view angle.
Serious problems in sunlight and reflected light.
There is nothing at all special about iPad screens. There are equal quality non-Apple laptops, notebooks and tablets. Except for high end Samsung they are cheaper. Apple has a very high profit margin.

Yes, you can get excellent 10" tablets cheaper than the Mars was or P78 is. They have a different use. I have Kobo Libra for most reading, a Mars for suitable PDFs and ebooks via BorrowBox (County Library app), a smart phone, a laptop with 1920x1080 built in.
All my content creation is on a 23" 2K (2560x1440) screen on the laptop.
The 10" LCD tablet gets plenty of use too.
