I have no understanding why you are defending what is either a bug or stupidity on Kobo's part.
Almost anyone would assume that turning off sync turns it off. Selecting something like the shop, or suggestions, or "pocket" might be expected to connect.
On almost every device in the last 30 years "sync" has a more specific meaning.

Please stop on so many posts defending either Kobo bugs or stupid design decisions. If sync when you are simply at home screen or reading an already open book is not a bug, but intended then that is really really worse behaviour by Kobo. Nothing else I have does it.

Edit:
I've not seen it sync when I've opened the book list. Which makes sense as I have no Kobo books.
Having read through this thread plus several of your other posts, I find your belief that turning off a scheduled sync should disable all syncs to be a trifle disingenuous. As for the rest of your posts, it becomes very obvious that you (1) disagree with quite a few of Kobo's design decisions and (2) believe that everyone who disagrees with you is wrong (stupid seems to be your word of choice, AFAIR). Reminds me of -- see attached image.

For me, the sync when I open some screens is handy since I do borrow library books and that syncs them to my ereader. The sync at the end of a book updates time and pages read counters. I vaguely remember that you will also get a sync in the middle of a book depending on how long it takes to read.
