I'm impressed with the level of communication Kobo has with this community, largely because it can become a no-win spiral. Don't talk enough and people complain about lack of communication. Update without firm deadlines and people complain about being vague. Update with firm deadlines and people rake you over the coals if the deadlines slip.
I think they've struck the right balance.

Just because people are unaware of the mishandling does not mean it did not occur. They still released a version that was so buggy it had to recalled, or the roll-out halted. This was during a rollout where special means (2 stage upgrades) had to be taken for some customers to prevent the version failing to upgrade properly because the upgrade didn't cope with some versions of their own factory firmware(/hardware?). Bad QC all round.
