Another way of looking at them is that they are not being overloaded with pointless extra features to the detriment of their core functionality which for an ebook reader would be reading comfort, screen clarity and battery life.
Using your example, say adding video to a dslr had harmed the quality of still pictures then it would have been an idiotic addition to such a device and in the same manner some features will be fine to add to ereaders and others will be stupid to add even if they work just fine on other classes of device.
