What would be the point of that? I do use the count pages plugin for Calibre to estimate an approximate length of my books. The plugin uses a customized value of a certain number of words per page. So all my ebooks are estimated on exactly the same basis. The page count of a printed book would be of no use to me in this, as the result can vary wildly between different editions.
Of course I cannot transfer this page count to my Kobo (or only as a part of the book details), but it's enough for me to know how long a book is. The page count based on a print edition would be much more arbitrary, as there's no telling whether the corresponding print edition is hardcover or paperback or how large a print it uses. I'd have to look all this up to decide. Nope, not my cup of tea at all.
