The complaint I've seen raised is that Amazon changed their algorithms at about the same time as they launched KU and that it hurts your visibility on the site not to be in KU.
How true this is who knows?
What does seem to be true is that it varies from author to author, genre to genre, book to book as to whether KU is a positive or negative thing.
