I suspect that for Kobo's eInk devices, it would be a matter of allowing the existing code to run since the basic firmware is common. The mark 6 devices (the Glo HD, Touch 2.0, Aura Edition 2, Aura H2O Edition 2 (aka the Peroxide), Aura One and Aura One Limited Edition) all use the same firmware installer so no argument the needed code is not present.

OTOH, for Kobo, having Overdrive integration as a distinguishing feature for the Aura Ones may outweigh the possible benefit from allowing other Kobo devices to directly access Overdrive. You'd have to consult a marketing expert to read the chicken entrails on that one.
