You still pay through your nose for large eInk displays though. I don't get what the fuck makes them so expensive... probably patent issues.

I'd guess low demand as well. Compared to any other type of screen, eInk is extremely niche. E-Readers and some mass produced wearables (Pebble) made it work, but even those had a fairly small market.

Pebble wasn't eink, weirdly enough; it was a "Sharp Memory transflective LCD" (which did have very similar properties, granted).
