But, they don't ignore ePubs. There have been plenty of changes and fixes in the ePub renderer over the years. But, they have a simple problem. They don't control it. For ePubs, they use the Adobe RMSDK. They need to use that to support books with Adobe DRM. And because they use this, they get whatever features it support. They also get any bugs in it. And the lack of some features the kepub renderer has is because the Adobe RMSDK doesn't support them and hence Kobo can't support them.

Right except it's pretty clear at this point the RMSDK used in Adobe's Digital Editions on PC/mobile are significantly different from what they have on Kobo. E.g. those support MathML. I'm sure Adobe would be happy license it out for some chunk of change.
