I know a few people who think the opposite: they bought it precisely for that reason. Is it a bad idea? It may be for you or me, but what matters is what they think. And for them, it was a good idea.
I don't have a Kobo colour e-reader and I don't know what other features colour has. I imagine that underlining and annotations can be done in colour and possibly everything related to the web (Google or Wikipedia searches) is also in colour, in addition to the images themselves. There are books that also incorporate colour in the text (mainly in the chapter titles). Kobo users will be able to expand on what else they can do with colour on a Kobo e-reader.
In my particular case, as I have said on other occasions, colour is very present in the novels I read and personally I find its use worthwhile. But that is something that each person must judge for themselves. Those who do not want or do not find colour worthwhile can continue as before.
