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.
But the problem with Kobo is that if you buy an eBook from Kobo that has bad metadata and the publisher does fix the metadata and releases a new fixed version, downloading the eBook again gets you the same version instead of the new fixed version. So once you buy an eBook, that's the version you get even if it's updated/fixed no matter how many time you download it.
