Clever of Kobo to hide it with the default UI setting, although it really isn't that bad.

Yes, that is it's only purpose in life (covering the LED shadows). When the 1st pre-release photo's of the GLO came out there were a lot of negative comments about the bar. So Kobo kindly gave us the option to turn it off in the firmware when the device came out. From what I've seen of pictures of the Kindle PW, the shadows would drive me nuts, but I leave the bar off and the shadows don't bother me at all on the Kobo.
