I think he's implying that a KA would be no bigger than an SR that's been stroked.
The problem is that a KA has a larger everything, changing the displacement of the SR doesn't change it's outward physical dimensions at all, it just makes it bigger inside.
Now, if he's asking "why would anyone ever bore out the SR" it's for torque, especially on heavy-duty all-motor setups with S5s or bigger cams and such, which shift power higher and higher into the RPM range. The SR has most of it's power gains at 3-5k, and pulls strong to redline. With monster cams you'd want to balance out the engine's newfound top end with some bottom end to get you there, especially if you're into drag or tight roadcourses, etc.
