The only reason I objected to the statement was because you seemed to think it was someone else's responsibility to report your ideas.

Also, if this thread isn't useful anymore may be time to close it?

Why do we even have a 'feature request' thread if we are to reply with 'why are you asking for features here' on every request? Food for thought.
Honestly, it was probably never useful. But it gave people a place to discuss ideas. Far to frequently the answer was, "But you can already do that". Other times, people express their opinion and sometimes one party changes their mind. But, as with anything, to actually get anything done, you need to talk to the people who can actually do something.

Any idea what the kobo feature request thread is? I found this page but I didn't find any option to go to issue/feature requests.
Go to the store. There is a feedback link on the right-hand side of each page. One of the options in that covers it.

Also, I just realised the older readers might have ghosting still present. But still I believe it can be added as an option.
Yes, it could be an option. But, every time you add an option you have to do work. You have to work out what to do, what the option actually is (What do you call it? Is it on by default? Where does it go?), write the code, test the code, write the support documentation, answer the support calls and a lot of other things. It takes time and money. And that time and money being spent means that it isn't going to something else. Where it is spent depends on priorities

Don't let me dissuade you from making the request. I strongly encourage everyone to make suggestions to Kobo for things they think will improve the devices. The only way that Kobo will know what you really want is if you tell them. It doesn't matter much what I or anyone else here thinks, if you can express your idea to Kobo well enough, they might adopt it.
