In general I agree, but I would add that a big reason is because KQs is the kind of hand where 3-betting often folds out the unpaired hands you dominate and keeps the ones that dominate you in. We're happy when our opponents are in with QJs, KJo, etc.
Something like KTs is better because you can fold KJ and maybe even KQ/AT. Probably not at this table though.
I think if you're 3-betting this the objective is to take it down pre and you should go large. But I also wouldn't 3-bet this; if I've got a good read on bad players I don't want to ramp up the variance against them.
