Right, I just wonder why no one tried hard to break that cycle and whenever I read about e-ink technology, I get the impression that the company behind it is not making it easy to create products with their technology.

One suggestion I've seen is patents.

Unfortunately, I think it's killing a whole corner of the market. I'd happily pay $500 for one of these but not $2k. At that price I'd struggle to not use something that has more colours and a higher refresh rate.
