Well, of course!

Amazon, like Kobo, like any other company, make products to make money, for a profit. No company make devices only to satisfy customers. Satisfying customers is one of their goals, but making profitable devices is the main one. If a device satisfy customers but it's not profitable, the company will go out of business.

Also, a device that satisfy a customer not necessarily means it will generate profit. Why ? Because making hardware and software requires capital. So if companies try to make perfect devices all the time, they will be so expensive that profit will be zero or too low and then impossible to make.
