If that's the case, then shouldn't it be Kobo's job to make the metadata in their eBooks consistent?
@Butterfly1234's problem is with sideloaded books ("Especially if you upload more than 3 books by the same author.") And this post was the first time that books purchased from Kobo have been mentioned. Every other post has been explicitly about calibre and sideloaded books.

Kobo does have a role in the metadata management for the books they sell, but, as others have said, if they get rubbish from the publishers, there isn't much they can do.
