It's also more manual labor to have to read a guide on a website from 2014 to figure out how to add a custom column to the page.

I was not the person who stated that they would "just pirate books/comics" in a public forum (what was it? the fourth message you posted on Mobileread?). Though I did feel that it gave a good sense of what your ethics are like.
OTOH, if you had read or even skimmed the calibre manual, you would have noticed the section on custom columns. You could even download the manual as an ebook to read on your favourite device.
I would suspect that I did not fail at what I was trying to get at. I do feel that any column requiring manual input should be a custom column since the number of people who will actually use a manual column is vanishingly small.
I remember using the late davidfor's Kobo Utilities ability to fetch the reading statistics from a Kobo ereader in 2013 and considering in the decade since how few implementations of that functionality for other ereaders have been created, it suggests that the task is a quite bit harder than you seem to think.
