I use the Kobo more as the Annotation export is better.
I doubt the HW is a "generation" behind, it might not have been the latest and certainly the screen on Kobo N905C I have is worse than ANY kindle* I've seen/used, but the Kobo Aura H2O is better than PW2, PW3, PW4 and Touch (2016?). Obviously the Kobo H20 original is late 2014 and the PW3 is 2015, but a earlier version of a chip or a year older isn't a "Generation".
(*I've used Kindle with buttons, keyboard, DXG, two different Touch models, PW2, PW3 and PW4. I've used an iRiver Story Cover, I have a Kindle Keyboard and last production PW3-2015 made in 2018. I have a Sony PRS350, used a Sony T1 and have Kobo N905C and Nook Simple Touch. The screen of the Aura H20 original is the best and I have no problem with response. Page set to refresh every turn. The N905C has the worst ghosting I've ever seen on eInk.)

the H2O edition 2 is slightly smaller than the original so it will weigh less and it also as the comfort light which seems to be a big draw/plus for some people (i'm not one of them) since Kobo have added the comfort light to the newer models the light bleed problem seems to happen more often on some devices.
i agree with you if you want the bigger 6.8 screen with a nice white background and clear dark crisp text the original H2O screen is second to none as far as Kobo ereaders are concerned.
