You are right, we have always had to put up with the page numbers at the bottom. A number of people, including me, have commented on this in the past (pre-Aura) and I have also emailed Kobo asking politely if they could make them optional, or at least take less space. Nothing doing so far...2.5.2 has just made the situation worst.
The review video obviously wanted to compare the bog-standard reading experience on both devices. For the Aura, this means kepub. Pre 2.5.2, the reviewer could still have commented on the wasted screen space compared to the Kindle, which would have negated some of the benefits of the bigger screen. Post 2.5.2, another three lines are wasted, so there is little benefit to the larger screen compared to the Kindle. I don't think the average punter should have to fiddle around with Sigil to get around this problem.
