KePub existed a long time before that. I've always taken them as for Kobo not to give money to Adobe. Books downloaded through Kobo devices and apps shouldn't suffer the license fees. Plus, I think it is a way for them to keep control and offer more features. There seems to be more limitations involved with the RMSDK than ACCESS.
