Here again, most of the people who buy their reader will never shop outside the Kobo store. For them, the statement is true as written; they buy books at Kobo, sync regularly, and their status is shared between devices and apps.
Sideloading's a wonderful feature, but it's far from being the main (or even a major) use case. Yes, I'd like to see that change, as I hate ecosystem lock-in - but my preferences are not reality, and I must be careful not to confuse the two.
