I may be wrong (entirely, or to some extent), so, take that with a grain of salt.
At a surface level at least it appears you're correct, though I get a 'configure device' option, it's limited to format supported and order, reading metadata, using sub-directories, and setting a save template which appears to only be the name prior to the extension. No additional options are available. Certainly none of the ones that are when I try and configure a Kobo device.

I think perhaps this is just a feature that isn't going to be worth it for me in particular. Unless some method for automating the saving as .kepub.epub has simply escaped me to this point, the level of extra work involved doesn't seem fully worthwhile. Though it may be nice when I'm away from my computer and want to snag a ebook from say Tor's monthly free book program.
