I don't think it's the pairing or the trope, tbh. K/T fic was et up with broning back when I used to read it, but it also benefitted from the same influx of migratory slash fan (semi-)BNFs and decent-to-good writers that S/G had, and even the fics where the vast majority of the point was punching and making out managed to also have some kind of relationship progression and a conflict that got resolved.
