Why do people think LED lights don't work on stock KDXs?

So, full disclosure..... in central Alaska the amount of time available where the lack of sunlight and the temperature work together to require the use of a light is very small. However, I put an aftermarket led light and mount on my KDX when I did the YZ front end. I used this one:
AnXin Motorcycle LED Headlight Head Light Lamp Headlamp Kit for KX125 KX250 KXF250 KXF450 KLX200 KLX250 KLX450 KX65 KX85 Dirt Bike Green off of Amazon.
It works perfectly fine. I've had the chance recently to ride in down roads and in the woods (in the DARK!!) on single track and there's absolutely no issue using it. Sure, at a very, very low idle you can see it flicker, but at normal idle and anything beyond it works perfect and is far brighter than stock. So the only time I see a flicker is just when I bog it down below the normal idle. Even idling/engine braking down hills, the light stays solid. Did I just get lucky??
