And even in the *worst* case where the firmware suddenly.... demands registration and you're exactly right back where you started. Sign Outs / Database resets are *extremely* common events on Kobo devices, often the 2nd troubleshooting step for *any* issue (after power off restart.).
Your welcome to a different opinion, (as the saying goes, similar to other anatomical features, everyone has one.),, but your haranguing is over the top and frankly I think worthy of moderation.

My opinion is that several years back, there were complaints that people who had faked their registrations has their Kobo—unexpectedly—factory reset after a firmware update. At that time, I tested and could duplicate this on a Kobo Glo.
It did not damage the Glo and I simply replaced the contents of the exposed storage from my backup. Some people who did not have those backups were very upset over losing their reading stats and awards.
As for sign outs and various levels of factory resets being "*extremely*" common events on Kobo devices? Since I first owned my Kobo N416 (D-pad, Bluetooth to a Blackberry) up to my Sage, factory resets have not been all that commonly required. At times, I am rather surprised that given the number of firmware updates I've installed, that I haven't needed to do so more often. Never mind playing with alternate renderers and launchers.
