In my opinion it depends on who you ask whether or not KQs is under rated.  Most beginners play it faster than they should.  I know many regs that play it slower and overfold it as well.  Most equity calculators have it in the top 5% of hands so clearly it's very strong pre and post flop.  Some of the arguments here against KQs are overly harsh as well.  Just because we don't want to get 3 bet with it or it's crushed by AQ+ and QQ+ doesn't mean it's trash.  Semi grunch but there is also some value to being able to continue on flush and straight draw flops and it helps block monster hands like KK/QQ/AK/AQ.  It's not fun being 3 bet when you raise with TT either but now we don't block anything, and cant flop much in the way of value or draws as it's hard to flop a set, draw, or an overpair with TT.  So by that same logic should we be limping / folding TT pre?  Obviously not.  OP is way over the top and just factually wrong about equities but some of the criticism goes too far as well in my opinion.  It's tougher to play pre and post and beginners may want to stay away from it for that reason but I still don't mind looking down at KQs and coming in for a raise.
