If it's supposed to be changed where is it mentioned in the Kobo documentation?
The fact that the .conf file exists is because the Kobo developers found that a convenient way to store settings which implies that they wanted to make it possible to change this value, but they haven't got around to providing a user interface to it yet. There could be any number of reasons for this from simply that they were working to some deadline and ran out of time to the fact that they know about a bug that occurs with non-US settings and haven't tracked down the cause yet. We don't know. And to call them stupid when we don't know is unfair.

If the Kobo developers really didn't want you to edit the .conf file, they would have put on the internal partition, and not on the user accessible partition.
As to its being a consumer product, maybe someone should let Kobo in on the secret. Many things that Kobo does should not be done on a consumer product.
