I think you have over-stated your case. Kobo seems to be perfectly capable of adding new, peripheral, features that I personally have no interest in (social media etc), but ignore these enhancements that would greatly improve the core reading experience for a lot of people.

And a very important point I missed was maintenance. Every added feature increases the code complexity, increases the likelihood of bugs. makes fixing bugs or adding more features harder. You don't add something without a good reason. Quote:

There are also licensing issues. Maybe they had a problem with licensing access to the function and haven't been able to enable them properly. |

Adding something like the desired options for the header and footer of the reading page is changing the existing code base. That need someone to go through the existing code, find all references to the current header and footer, make sure they use parameters, make sure that anything that interacts with them is handling that correctly, make sure that anything that interacts with this also works. |
