On the other hand we don't know for sure that a substantial mass of people out there having a Kobo reader are not disappointed by this issue. It's hard to say one way or the other. But if many of us here on this small group on MR consider this an issue, by the laws of statistics it seems hard to believe that nobody else out there would agree with it being an issue.

The space on the bottom has been used for an information area since day 1 so you can't complain that you have lost that space. The area at the top now matches what people reading .kepubs have always seen -- I don't remember hearing any screams about that waste of space, do you?
I redo most of my ebooks to a line spacing of 1.1 and zero margins to get as much on the screen as I can. I tried the hack using a 2.5.1 file to remove the header with the title and reverted back to the stock firmware. I find the consistency of appearance from epub to kepub is a plus for me. An option to remove it for those who don't want it? An option to use the bottom menu area for text? If such an implementation doesn't cause other issues or consume too much time and resources, ask for it and it might be given.
As for the number of people here complaining? A quick count shows the number is not all that high and quite a few of those (Hi, JSWolf!) do not own a Kobo ereader.
