So, in other words, the Glo HD just wasn't profitable enough to continue?

Or it could be that the Glo HD didn't sell as well as we think it did and Kobo dropped it for that reason.
Or a deliberate act on Kobos part to sell more Aura ONEs. If people wanted a 300DPI Kobo, they had to choose an Aura ONE.

That doesn't make sense considering the Glo HD could compete with the Paperwhite and Glowlight Plus. Instead, they retired the HD and the Aura Edition 2 replaced it.
If either of those are true, it explains why Kobo can't compete in the US.
