Sure, we know what to do. But most won't know what to do or even about removing DRM so they can fix it or even that the eBook needs fixing.
No, the problem is that you seem to think that something has changed. Monospace has never been supported on Kobo devices without them either being embedded or sideloaded. This is still unchanged. And, it is unlikely to change. And for reasons that have been discussed: The number of books that actually use monospace is tiny. I might have a couple of programming type text books, but, I can't think of any other book having monospace fonts. Except completely artificial test books.
