Others have asked for it in past. My guess would be that there hasn't been enough people asking for that particular feature for Kobo to spend the time/money to add it.

Kobo (for better or for worse depending on your perspective) are working regularly on fixing problems and adding new features to all but their oldest devices. The base firmware is the same across all the devices, so except for the 1st one or two devices they produced (which is likely a case of the hardware not having the power to keep up) even the older discontinued devices are still getting updates. The only caveat to this is that sometimes the really hot new features (i.e. Overdrive) may have a delay in being rolled out to older devices.
