It's not worth it to you. Others disagree.

The folks skipping registration are likely sideloading books, which means even with a firmware update that changes things, they'll have a back up (or at least should).

Honestly better to do this than to set a fake email since if you lose the password the account will be lost to you if you forget it. Also if it's a fake email and someone comes along and makes it, then tries to make a kobo account they'd be able to get your books and buy more if you have a CC connected.

Regardless, it's not up to you to tell people what to do with their device, you can inform them of the risk but they should be free to do as they please.
