Well, why Kobo doesn't point out in his web site and on every device box "Beware: This device doesn't supply monospaced type font. It doesn't render monospaced text if fonts are not supplied by the book publisher."
Just for fairness.
Probably because they’ve allowed adding your own fonts for years and years, possibly going back to the first models but certainly a long enough time that it’s a standard feature.

You want the font, supply it. It’ll render properly. Thus it’s not a bug.

You can pester them for the addition of a monospace font, though I’d suggest being less brusque and dismissive to whoever you talk to via their CS lest your request go in the “special request bin” that gets emptied by maintenance every night.
