With the regular screen, maybe the production cost is low enough that they can reduce the price later to take market share away from competitors at their price point. They reduced the price of the original BMPCC 6K $500 a few months after it's introduction. I remember when the 6K Pro first came out there were a lot of posts complaining about tints in the screen, resulting in RMAs. Maybe the yields of high brightness screens is a problem that raises production costs.
The internal NDs on the 6K Pro introduces a potential for mechanical problems. Maybe this camera would be for a user that needs a workhorse that can be bounced around with no moving parts that could break:

"...The ND filters were changing fine from 0 to 6 stops, using the + and - buttons. I just did my first test project on this weekend and last weekend.
On Day 2 of my test shoot, I noticed the + and - buttons would not work. Well, they would only respond every 4 clicks or so, and I could only get between 2 filters. I'm not sure which numbers they were, because on the Camera UI, the number of stops would not update. Well, sometimes it would say 6, change to 2, then never change again, even when 1 filter would kick in or out."

"I had the same exact issue. I can confirm that some Rock 'n Roll solved the issue. This was not a light hit on the top of the camera as suggested by blackmagic (Jazz People) but it was shacking and hitting against my leg multiple times while in the meantime messing up.with the ND switches (Rock Man). It eventually surrended and the ND are now working. Looks like we should trigger them from time to time even if not needed for a while, avoiding them tomger stucked maybe because of moisture or somethng."
