Calm down SeigneurAo. Nobody's being a crybaby, there's only one person here as far as I know that actually 'broke' their glo by installing the touch's firmware, and he specifically mentioned he's not blaming Kobo for his own fault. And not long after that, he managed to fix his glo himself.
So there aren't any problems.
The only things that are iffy, are that
- kobo mentions the different firmwares are incompatible... not that installing will actually break a device with no option to restore
- the kobo device doesn't check its new firmware update files before installing them.
And yes, I almost agree with you on:

To take a very similar example, you can almost load any rom on any smartphone with ease these days.
Except that you may soft- or hard-brick said device doing so, for instance if you pick a rom meant for another brand/model (rings any bell ?).

...but, such firmwares you find online for phones always state for which phone they are, and which version of that phone. All Kobo's 2.1.5 firmwares have the same name, regardless of which 2.1.5 for which exact device.
