When it was announced that the Libra 2 was being discontinued, the Libra 2 then sold out pretty quickly. That shoul dhave told Kobo that people want a 7" BW Reader and started making plans for a Libra BW. But they didn't because whoever makes those decisions is has no idea what good business is.

It is good. Yes, for people that want contrast above all else it's worse. But it's ACTUALLY FAST, has good battery life, supports pen input and the colour is good for certain use cases.
Whenever I see eReaders in the wild people usually have the brightness cranked anyways so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot people frankly don't care or even notice the reduced contrast.
Personally I find it readable in shaded natural light without the frontlight too, is it worse than non-color models I own? Sure. Is it unreadable? No. Getting a fast, pen equipped color eReader at a decent price with the tradeoff of slightly worse contrast was IMO worth it.
