I guess you are correct.
But... If Kobo had made shelves more easily created- like being able to search for author and add all results to the shelf, search for title and add to another shelf, find all items not in any shelf and add them yet to another. Something that does not require you to go through all of the books each time you need to add one to the shelf. Something that does not require you to run third party software either, Calibre is great, but if you talking easy and user friendly, it seems to make sense not to have to rely on it, right?
Of course needs of people that read books with different not supported alphabets, seem to be so unimportant, that nobody so far even considered how having a file manager in lieu of being able to search for books would help them.
Now I hear again and again, how having a file manager would increase user error, but really almost everyone now has a computer, that has a file manager, you don't have to ever use it. But for those who needs it - it is a great tool.
It should be the same with Kobo- if you don't need it, you would never need to use it. Unfortunately with shelves, you find yourself needing them, yet managing them on your reader, if you have significant amount of books is impossible.
