Why does the lichess engine consider the King's Indian an inaccuracy?

Hi,
I was looking at one of my recent games with an engine on lichess, and the game started out 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4, and black played g6 which was labeled inaccurate (or ?!) by the Lichess engine. Could someone please explain to me why lichess hates the KID? I play it as black and find it very annoying to defend as white. Thanks!
If you let Stockfish vs Stockfish in KID, black will have very high rate of losing , that it is why inaccurate play.
This is typical for chess engines that they don't like black in KID. But usually if evaluation in KID game is something around 0.0, then this means that white gone wrong somewhere and black has already an excellent position.

As far as I know there are some variations in KID that are just unseenable for engines and if you put them in analysis, Stockfish will immediately like black's position. So this is not so clear is it innacurate opening or not.
At the highest level (and I'm not talking about GM level I mean SF and Lc0 level) KID leaves black in a kind of awkward position.
