Illegal without agreement. Did you read the agreement when you signed up? Though, I have no idea where you are, so I don't know if it is illegal where you are.

Of course, you could just turn the usage reporting off.

I agree with that. But Kobo knows I have only one device, no app and and have never bought anything from them. So there is nothing to synchronise by any reasonable definition.
And at any moment, you might start buying books from Kobo. Without syncing, the device doesn't know this.

Even if there was, what looks like an "off" should be off.
Then make sure you tell Kobo that you want the option. But, remember the function hasn't change since well before you bought the device. As you disagree so vehemently with the function, why did you buy the device?
