In return, you gain much more variability and can adapt the devices much better to your own preferences.
Those who are happy with the defaults don't need it.

Well, my Onyx Boox Leaf 2 doesn't fit those parameters. It is much lighter than any other of its size and the battery lasts exactly the same as my PocketBook Era (and I have the Wi-Fi on all the time). I guess it depends a lot on how you use the device. I only use it as a pure e-reader (I haven't had any problems with the battery and weight with the Poke 2 either). The price is indeed higher (although I bought it in a sale and the difference was small). That is a serious drawback. But the fact that it uses Android is absolutely irrelevant to me, apart from the additional options it offers me.
(I always talk about my personal experience and devices I own and use. I never like to give my opinion about devices I don't know first hand).
