I haven't hiked Kings yet, so at risk of speculating on what was perhaps a rhetorical question, here's 3 possible reasons, from least to most significant:
1)Overall, it may be less effort to dayhike it than to haul in camping gear.
2)It can be fun to challenge yourself to accomplish something like that in one push.
3)

It's only 24.4 miles and 5250' of gain...why *wouldn't* you do it in a day?
I keep kicking around doing 7 of the 13ers in a day...which has been done:
http://www.crockettclan.org/blog/?p=14
1 = Mount Emmons
2 = “North Emmons”
3 = “Roberts Peak”
4 = “Trail Rider Peak”
5 = “Painter Peak”
6 = South Kings Peak
7 = Kings Peak
Looks pretty sweet. And home in time to hang out w/ my kids.

And the guy that did this also climbed Timp 5 times in a row in one day, regularly runs 100 mile races, and frequently runs marathons before work. Not that I wouldn't like to give it a try... I'm just sayin'.
