Could you explain to me how purchasing an ebook from Kobo and converting it to read on my Kindle or vice versa keeps the compensation due to the publisher and/or author (in many cases these days, the author is the publisher) from being paid.

Your attempt to conflate legally purchasing an ebook and format conversion as being equivalent to pirating ebooks is at best risible and at worst suggestive of an inability to reason.
