I really don’t care if most people are generally satisfied with their Kobos, they are just bad devices, starting with subpar eink drivers (largely responsible for the sluggish behavior) all the way up to the random quibs like random unregistered highlights...

A lot of that is obviously coloured by a poor experience. No company deliberately introduces bugs etc.. Its always going to be swings and roundabouts. For every person like you that had a poor experience with 'x' there will be one who had one with 'y'
Its the sort of poor experience I had with Amazon and Kindle. But there's nothing particularly sub par about Kobo's in my experience with them.
