To draw an analogy, there are professed audiophiles who go on about how quiet (lack of noise like electrical hum) a piece of equipment is or how good a particular set of headphones are at reproducing micro-details (whatever those are). They're not listening to the music; they're listening to the equipment. I think this is the same kind of thing in reverse. Kobo are attempting to get the mechanics of presenting the content out of the experience of reading the content.
