Another reason for kepub is that it uses Kobo's own DRM which saves them from paying Adobe for any ePubs synced to your ereader/app directly from Kobo.

My memory may be going, but I think Kobo had kepubs long before it was the company was bought by Rakuten and long before I had ever heard of epub3.
I always thought the reason for kepub was that when Kobo delivers the kepub it doesn't owe Adobe anything.
