Not in a consumer product where you're not even supposed to be aware it's running Linux. Most people wouldn't even think of the device as a computer.
If it's supposed to be changed where is it mentioned in the Kobo documentation?
The fact that the .conf file exists is because the Kobo developers found that a convenient way to store settings which implies that they wanted to make it possible to change this value, but they haven't got around to providing a user interface to it yet. There could be any number of reasons for this from simply that they were working to some deadline and ran out of time to the fact that they know about a bug that occurs with non-US settings and haven't tracked down the cause yet. We don't know. And to call them stupid when we don't know is unfair.
