(It doesn't have, as a design objective, the maximization of profit for their online store, or any requirement to "sync" to one.) Kobo's user interface (Nickel) is highly integrated with its database and spends considerable resources trying to maintain it without corruption. But as I said "it is a matter of opinion", and the good thing is that you can have both installed and working on your Kobo device at the same time. There are some of us (not those here) who have come to feel that you don't need Nickel, to enjoy your Kobo.

I've only used Nickle and I never use the Sync feature at all. You don't even need to be connected to Wi-Fi. I think you are overselling how tied Nickle is to the Kobo store. Without patching, the only irk I had was search defaulting to the Kobo store.
