One reason might be that accidental touches occur more frequently with infrared touchscreens.
With infrared touch, a touch is registered when anything at all (almost) touches the screen, whereas a capacitive touchscreen will only react to a conductor (such as your finger). I saw a few negative reviews of the Amazon Kindle Basic (8th Generation) from users who were frustrated by accidental page turns, e.g. commuters who found that any bit of loose clothing that fell on the screen turned the page.
On a side note, thank you very much for your contributions to the Kobo patches
