I’m worried about it being deeper in the settings somewhere. I’d like to suss that out before I factory reset again for no reason.

Is it possible that the Kobo was branded Walmart in the setup based on my IP location, here in the States?
It is probably the last. As far as I can work out, they use IP location to decide. But, they might also use model or serial number. The reason I am not sure is that I have different affiliates for my older devices than my newer ones. These match who was selling them at the time, but, not necessarily who I bought them from. And the Forma, which I bought from Kobo directly, has Kobo as the affiliate. That suggests it is not just the IP and its supposed location.

For the setup, I would expect the signup choices to be based on the IP location. I do get the Australian book stores. But, the store I bought the last couple of devices from is not there as it does not have a book store. But, it is what the affiliate has been set to.
