Black is probably a choice made by bandai to keep costs low and production simple. I have a suspicion that the neon parts are either previously all white runners or completely new plastic, but the other colors would either need to be color matched or they would probably look terrible, so it's pretty likely they added black dye to mitigate that, thus the black on neon look. This is mostly just based on what I've seen recycling 3D prints for new filament.

I think recycled plastics inherently have dark color since it was made of mixed color plastics. That’s why they have to use dark color like black to mask the unpleasant color of the plastic itself.

Ecopla kits are really good. The MG Exia is a vast improvement over the original release not just due to the color scheme, but also because the joints are much tighter. (I was told this was true for all the re-releases of the MG Exia, but I still haven't gotten the normal one for comparison. Surprisingly hard to get in my area.)

This was my third gunpla kit ever, closely followed by the Ecopla MG barb. It's a fantastic kit and I decided to panel line the black parts with a silver gundam marker EX, and the pink with a gundam gray while giving the eyes a semi-reflective silver color. Absolute banger of a kit. Will note, that the reason why he ecopla doesn't get the neat permet shell part that the normal one does is probably because it's made from ABS, which isn't nearly as easily recycled as PS. Making more for the ecopla kits would kinda go against the idea of ecopla (though admittedly it would've been nice to have)

I honestly would love to have this in my country too but gunplais even more niche than US. I feel like sending in 4-5 HG set worth of runners and getting a ecopla would be a neat thing for such a recycling program. I like this one quite a bit but i feel like they could have made some of those internal chest elements black instead for more contrast. When building or after being done with it, some panel lining with both black and pink would also really biring out the details and help the aesthetic.

What I do with my leftover runners is I snip them into little bits and gather them into a separate trash bin. Once it fills up, I sell them at the nearest recycling center. Selling is by weight so selling the runners as is won't cost much but I can sell them for more when they're cut into bits because it makes them heavier.

Satin is a standard paint term for a semi-gloss finish between gloss and matte. Same as semi-gloss.

Very nice Lfrith. Recently been in Japan and got ecopla Gouf from Gundam Factory. That one is 100% black, without the colourful elements. Not sure how this Lfrith, but the plastic quality for that Gouf was poorer, and way thinner than the normal kit (at least the WFM ones), so I assumed it was due to reused plastic. But I wonder if it's actually the mold that makes elements bulkier or only the plastic difference is at work. That said, black kits would look lovely with some kind of light lining.
