Epubs are rendered using the Adobe software whereas Kepubs are rendered using Kobo's own software. That's why there is the difference. Can't answer to why Adobe has never added this except that they use a certain # of characters to represent a "page" so depending on your font size, a "page" may be over 1/2 a screen or 3 screens. That makes it tricky to say how many pages are left (and in fact an Adobe page could include the last part of one chapter + the 1st part of the next). Kobo has limited control over what they can change on the Adobe side.
