What assumption? If anything, my mistake was believing your words:

If you were engaging in puffery, that's not my problem.

When I select "Science Fiction" from the sub-category list at Kobo, these two are both on the first page of results:
Neither is SF to me, despite labelled as such. I did not go past the first page since my point was proved thereon. To find SF even in the subcategory so labelled, one still has to to scroll past Fantasy books.

Kobo's labelling is awful...

Maybe shop or at least browse elsewhere.
None of your complaints stems directly from Sci-Fi and Fantasy being lumped together into one larger category. As you mentioned, books that do not have this 'problem' (regency romances) are also tagged as non-fiction. I do think there's a problem with authors/publishers being able to tag books themselves.
