It's been a while since I had a straight HTML file on one of my devices. But, I just tested one. Unless there is something unusual in the file I tested, I couldn't select any text, so it is not just this. My guess would be that it is a design decision on Kobo's part as they probably see Pocket articles as only temporarily on the device.

Apart from that, yeah, I really wonder why Kobo wouldn't support that (same goes for PDF btw, the reader software even recognizes annotations embedded in the file (standard PDF annotations) but won't let you make any...

Very different things. The embedded annotations in PDFs are contained inside the file. The firmware is displaying the contents of the file. The annotations you make using the device are external to this. They require supporting selection in the format. Then they are stored in the database on the device, not written to the file.
