It is not the fault of Kobo. It is the fault of the publisher who released the eBook with that formatting.

That said, what I do is strip the DRM and fix up the CSS. It doesn't usually take long at all to do so and if the ePub does not have embedded fonts, I specify the fonts I use that are on my Sony. Removing the CSS won't do squat to fix things. You have to edit the CSS to fix things.

Most ePub have margins (I want no margins), large indents, line spaces that do not belong, and sometimes small fonts by default. This is what I have to clean up. It's fairly easy if you know CSS.
