I get crucified every time I suggest that the transition to Colour was beneficial. My theory is that the reluctance to accept change may be correlated with the average demographic of the forum users, which tends to be older. As people age, their viewpoints often become more solidified and resistant to change. Any opinion that contradicts their own is perceived as a personal attack and met with hostility. These are the same individuals who were hesitant to upgrade from a flip phone to a smartphone or complained about switching from traditional TV to streaming.

You guys shouldn't take anything personal from the internet.
This whole thing is not about being conservative. It is the exact opposite. Ebook readers are (were?) popular because they are very good for one thing: to read books on them, with the closest experience to a real paper book, with excellent readability at the same time more efficiently in any light/ambient circumstances.
If the majority will embrace colour readers against BW, then after some time there won't be beneficial to manufacture BW screen readers anymore. Which means you will have a slow tablet, with washed out colours, but at least the reading experience won't be as good as it used to be.
Of course this is just worst case scenario, and at this point it is not likely that will happen, just because there is no exact alternative to the Libra 2. Although if there will be no replacement for the Libra 2 in this year, I will stock up from its compatible batteries.
