Kobo had a BW market. That's changing. 6", 8", 10.3" with the 8" and 10.3" having rubbish batteries. And no 7". That's not good.

These companies are in business to make money, and as someone else pointed out the B&W market is already saturated so there isn't as much money to be made there.
When it was found out the the Libra 2 was being discontinued with no replacement, they sold out quickly. THat should have told Kobo that people want a 7" BW Reader.

I myself would like a 7-inch color with access to Google Playstore, but the specs aren't really up to where they need to be. But it's a want not a need since I already have a perfectly good Libra. So, I will continue on as is. It's hardly a hardship or a crime that no company is putting out exactly what I want.
I don't care about color. I do want god contrast. I have better contrast with my Libra 2 then any Reader with a Kaleido 3 overlay. I've read of some who bought a PW5 because the Libra 2 was gone.
