Round kicks can be very easily defended by checking or even just getting inside past its effective range. There is no effective way to defend a sidekick to the knee that doesnt put the fighter in a compromising situation.
Another difference is that a deliberate roundkick to the knee results in the attacker having just as good a chance at a serious injury to their ankle as the fighter on the receiving end sustaining a serious injury to their knee.
