Kobo can't rely on that because one of their problem solving steps is "Do a factory reset". That will install the latest firmware over the original. Also, testing an install over a factory reset is a lot easier and more repeatable than testing over incremental updates. I would expect most of their development testing to be a factory reset, install latest release version and then install the test version over that. Or factory reset and install the test version.
