Or are you telling me Kobo runs the user as root (in the unix sense) out of the box with no modifications required because frankly that sounds like a terrible idea for a WiFi enabled device?

Have you ever opened an Telnet/SSH session to a Kobo ereader using either WiFi or USBNetwork? As for worrying about a WiFi connection? I seem to read about the seemingly endless desire of Kindle users to jailbreak their devices and Android owners to root their devices without worrying about any security issues. Given that most homes use a WiFi router that does not expose the devices to inbound connections, I'm not that worried about my Kobo device being hacked.
