I think you need to adapt a bit. Somewhere between a short tap and a long press exists the Kobo page turning tap sweet spot. Possibly more elusive than the Grafenburg spot for many...
The number of times it happens that a bug might land on my screen and change my page on the Sony out of my total reading time, 0.0001%.

The number of times it takes me 2-4 swipes to turn the page on the Kobo, 50% of the time.

I'll choose the device where a bug can turn a page and the rest of the time I can use the slightest thumb movement on the first try. Yes, I adapt to the Kobo because I love the light, but page turns are still unresponsive and slow compared to the Sony and I really don't see a reason for it.

So if Kobo intentionally did that to prevent the occasional bug turning a page, they overdid something and not for the better.
