It's not about the Kobo, per se, it's about the way particular covers are designed, so that if you happen to be randomly browsing your library in pictorial mode only, you can't read the title because it's in a tiny font with no contrast to the picture. But since I mostly browse my library in "Text+covers" mode I rarely pay attention.

Cover artists need to pay attention more, and realize that sometimes people will want to see book titles when a picture is only 40x70 px

Take for instance this novel cover: Picture the same image in grey scale and if you were browsing it by the cover only, can you tell what the title is?
