That is a problem I see with the Touch, and it sort of makes sense.

The devices aren't actually touch sensitive. They use IR beams across the top of the screen. Touching the screen blocks the beam from getting to the detector. So, something else on the screen like a drop of water will confuse the IR detectors. As Kobo has not implemented multi-touch, it is probably a deliberate decision to not do anything in this situation.
