Totally true. I've ended up a mix between ReMarkable 2 e-ink tablet for meetings notes, Apple Notes for things like grocery lists, and regular folders on a cloud for long term archiving and references.
Oops, just checked, mine has a backlight, and the ReMarkable is even more Closed than my MobiScribe, fail.

The ReMarkable is comparatively very hackable and open, see for example https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable/. It doesn't have a backlight though, that's true.
Are you certain about this? I was told that remarkable is open source. But I have not verified this myself. But I see tools like https://github.com/torwag/remarkableflash which suggest it is possible to recompile what software remarkable has published and then flash it on to the system. Please double check either way.
Overall, ReMarkable 1 and 2 are pretty awesome. It's a cool tool to take ton of notes without having to worry about loosing anything. Just wish their search feature was OCR. This is truly missing.
Do you ever share notes you make with it or are they purely for your own reference?
