I would agree that seeing how Kobo software is slow and buggy I probably would not trust them to even try to mirror Calibre.
But investing into making a very nice device from hardware stand point and ruining it all with poor software implementation does not seem like a working idea. I don't use Kobo app either, which does not speak in favor of Kobo programmers.
The last Nook I played with did not have an SD card installed and had 2 Gb of internal memory of which only 1GB was available for storage. I seem to remember something like 750MB was reserved for B&N content leaving 250MB for user content. By comparison, my Kobo Touch had more free storage and I could use any amount of it for user content.

The real fun was finding that while the Nook supported shelves, the only way to manage them was on the device 1 book at a time. Calibre could not write to the device due to B&N's paranoia.
