Consider how many features in devices like televisions are ignored, or are openly criticized in devices like mobile phones. Ultimately Kobo has to consider that, decide which consumers they're interested in, and implement the features and options accordingly.
This is a device that offers us font weight and sharpness settings out of the box. Kobo's unique point of difference is display choice. Why not actually give us that? In an Advanced menu is fine - people who feel overwhelmed by such things can merrily ignore it with no side effects.
