I'm also don't understand what's so "unannounced" about it - all the Kobos I've ever had have needed this, to the best of my recollection.
The original Touch with the factory firmware version 1.9.11 (or thereabouts) allows you to start using it without signing in. But, you can only sideload. To enable WiFi, you had to sign into a Kobo account. But, as I said a year ago, it was impossible to use the Glo without setting up an account of some sort. Either sign in, or fake it in the database.

@Papered Over: How to handle the setup has been discussed here many times. A search of the forum will find the database method.
