Security is a proactive concept, not a reactive one. Don't wait until something has already happened to you before you take steps to protect yourself from it, if it's a plausible potential future occurrence. And seeing other companies do it definitely makes it plausible that your company might do it too.

As I have multiple backups of my books and I don't highlight/take notes, I'm not really worried if Kobo will do it some day or not. I can easily reload my books. Of course, from that day on I would never switch wifi on again (I do it very seldom anyway). The main advantage of the airplane mode for me is to avoid updates I might not like. Again, not a concern with a Kobo, as you can go back to a previous firmware any time.
