No idea what the niche would be for this as there are already excellent looking e-ink displays which can play video in a pinch. Who’s going to go for a shittier looking one just for a higher refresh rate? I don’t think many gamers are looking for shitty looking black and white screens.
Fair enough but is that enough to buy a whole different computer with a much worse display? Modern e-ink displays can do probably 10-15 fps on high frame rate which, while not perfect, is probably adequate.
As opposed to buing a separate display for the computer?
I like to think this thing would be nice reading the news while having a breakfast or reading an e-book outside or at the bed, not near my computer. So it makes a lot of sense to build a tablet with this display technology.
Every use case you described is already filled much better IMO by the high fps e-ink tablets like the Boox Tab Ultra. I would not want to do any of those things on the shitty screen shown in this post.

Zooming and panning a pdf is arguably more comfortable with higher frame rate.
