Have you considered that if you are running the KOReader program, you are not using any running Nickel process? Even those launchers that start from the Nickel UI go to great pains to shut down Nickel related processes. KOReader runs fine on my Kobos without Nickel as do Plato, Coolreader/Fbchess, Frotz, and whatever else I may decide to add. The underlying Linux OS provides what is needed for these other programs just as it does for Nickel.
What I find most telling is your "So in order to help everyone" assertion. How can you think that "everyone" would be helped when you "cannot say which devices may benefit "? Why should everyone conform to your view of how things should work?
Luck;
Ken
