The Annotations plugin copies the annotation into Calibre's book record.
I've used the Kobo Utilities method maybe over 1000 times with no issue except once when Kobo database was corrupt. The Kobo Utilities method by default doesn't directly create a file or add the data to Calibre.
But when I do that, I get an empty dialog box. There is nothing to copy.

If I use the Annotations plug-in on the same book, I can see it has annotations and get them imported into Calibre.
