Though I can understand missing that with all the posting going on, and the multiple threads on the Sage/Libra 2.

But I’d imagine most people who caught that post might have not bothered looking into it. Since it was from Kobos social media reps (Facebook specifically).
Yes, my question went to an internal person and can't be considered official. There was a comment about OD audiobooks that suggests they might support them in the future. I hadn't thought about it before, but, I wonder if they could do it through the store in a similar way to OD ebooks. I suspect the hard part of that would be the contracts between the companies involved. The lawyers would want their slice of the pie. If it is through sideloading, then it means supporting whatever DRM OD uses. Which would involve the lawyers again, but also mean extra code.
