If this menu covered part of the text, then you would not be able to see the selection in that area, or change the selection to words in that area.
But, I do think Kobo could reduce the size. Reducing it by a third would worl without changing the icons used. Halving it might need different icons.

Actually I think we are forgetting one reason to keep the free bottom space.
On the GLO you can turn this space black to hide the (minimal) shadowing you get from the LEDs.
I think it was even a fixed setting to have a black bar before fw 2.+
With the" widow" fix, the text goes exactly to this black bar on my GLO.
I hadn't realized it before, as I don't use the black bar.
