This thread was started by a poster who was upset that he would have to add a monospaced font to his Kobo to get an ebook with HTML code examples to line the examples up properly. I checked my collection and found 9 books with a monospaced font used. 5 of them had the font embedded, 4 didn't. With the 4 that didn't, my ereader with a sideloaded monospace font and the patch to point to that font as the default monospace worked. So 9600 books and 4 that didn't work? About .04%.
BTW, the most common uses for a monospaced font was for computer output and text messages. The only book I owned where it made a real difference to me was the computer text output in Andy Weir's
The Martian. Text messages? When was the last time you saw a text message in a monospaced font in the real world?
