Did a quick google and the first review that came up shows that's not true at all, it's the exact same process on a kindle as it is a Kobo, though you and this review are both really over-selling it:
The real reason seems to be that the Kobo is cheaper, honestly, don't see why the kindle is that much more
You can change the store on the Kobo to become to your selfhosted calibre library

And with a kindle you can just email the file to it
As a Kobo user, I want this too :(
Now I just use the internal browser or use a c to c cable and just use my phone as intermediate

This website allows you do email files to kobo
That's genius, thanks!
