That seems like a little stretch. If the it is in your bag and gets activated, isn't it also likely that something will touch the screen, so it won't go into Sleep?

Same with accidentally sliding the switch: if the switch gets activated by accident, it seems likely that the screen will get touched accidentally.

If this is why Kobo made the change, I would rather have them make it option, ESPECIALLY with the switch.
