I think there were multiple reasons. Yours sound plausable. I would think another big one is color.
Sure.

And sometimes customers think what they want is what everyone else wants.


Amazon dropped the PW5 (6.8" screen) for the PW5 (7" screen). Both are BW. I think that was done because 7" may be more common and thus cheaper. That and Amazon crippled the PW6 somewhat.
