Yes and consumers like that. With good display calibration packages like ColorEyesDisplayPro you can set the black point to whatever you like, including raising it a tad to simulate press DMax densities for example.

When calibrated properly for paper Dmin and Dmax values they are hardly hard on the eyes. The problem with low luminance values has been addressed with the recent models. I've found that with well placed lighting, "no reflection" is pretty obtainable in a well light environment. Again, well placed lighting is the key, and if these displays make people think about their lighting that's a good thing.
