Perhaps if the Aura becomes a standard offering, they will.

You will do what you will do and think what you will think. You are free to write whatever you want, and believe whatever you want, with no obligation whatsoever to look at or consider anyone else's point of view. Blog away, blog away!
I didn't say the wait was torturous; I implied that it was a failure. Please don't put words in my mouth.

TBH once Kobo lost the order I gave up on it, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got the shipping notice.

And while this issue might have shades of gray, problems like temporarily misplaced orders, an inability to manage orders from the Kobo website, and the randomized delay in shipping are pretty clearly failures.

There's no gray in there; those are failures on the part of Kobo. To say otherwise is to deny the facts in front of us.
