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.

I'll consider this "mystery solved" then. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully, I'll continue to get the firmware rollouts at the front of the queue as I've grown accustomed to.
