The thing is, I wouldn't use many of the Kindle exclusive features either (X-ray, Goodreads integration). And for sideloaded, non-KFX files, Kobo and Nook have nicer page layout.
And there have been times where I decide I want to read a series, but can't remember which book is the first. Kobo has been helpful there. Granted, that has happened maybe twice in the years I've used a Kobo. But when it happens, it is handy.

I don't use any Kindle-exclusive features either, except for global search, which has come in handy for some longer series. Perhaps I just have a soft spot in my heart for Kindles, because they were my first and for many years my only ereaders. Much like you seem to have a soft spot for Nooks. Besides, the latest Oasis is the speediest eink reader I've had.
What bothers me the most about my Nook is the inability to refresh every page. The darkness of the text degrades noticeably with every un-refreshed page. It's one of those things which once you've noticed, you can't unnotice. I would use my Nook a lot more if it had that option, like Kobos and Kindles do.
