It has to be. Epaper is done by physically moving the “ink” particles (which are designed to not move at all when you aren’t deliberately moving them) around. It takes too much time for fast refresh rates.
The benefit is that it actually reads like paper. You can’t replicate that on LED or OLED.

And another benefit is reduced energy consumption.
Not sure how much it takes to redraw the screen, but when it’s not changing, it doesn’t use any power.
