Lets think of it this way, Ever stop and think that Kazuto is only in that relationship because he is afraid? Because in the original web store his first relationship was with Sachi, and she died in front of him. That's leaving some high level emotional scars. This along with the not so subtle threats that were nicely animated for us following the Anime. Well you may think its "love" and all that. I wouldn't go that far. There are hints as to the path through out the Arc's that make these two the most liked ships in this universe (Shinon x Kazuto and Asuna and Kazuto). Look at the events that led up to them getting "married" Then look at how Shinon's relationship with him has developed.

Kazuto knows one of Shinon's darkest secrets and openly shares his with her. That shows a tight bond between the two.

Kazuto knows little about Asuna and doesn't know much about what troubles her. I'm sorry if I'm missing anything here but aren't one of the things about a "relationship" is sharing and confiding in each other?

Kazuto knowing at the end of the Shadow Bullet arc, that Shinon would be fine at her apartment. Ye he left the hospital and went straight there anyways, Asuna couldn't even keep him at the hospital as she was there when he awoke. So what could possibly be another reason for leaving his girlfriend/wifey behind to go to another girls place. I know I'm nitpicking at this point but really? What could he had said to Asuna to allow him to arrive literally minutes after he woke to arrive in time to save Shinon. On top of that saying something that wouldn't have her following him. They all saw how they both interacted during the BoB.

But that goes into what is true canon bs argument which isn't something I want to even touch on...

Regardless, with the tsundere Asuna vs Shinon I'm going with Shinon. Anything could trigger that anger Asuna displays and she is always dictating what the both of them would do. So its out of fear not love that his actions are rationalized. As for Shinon, Kazuto is his normal natural self, which is why Shinon x Kazuto is so damn popular. ZeHaffen answered perfectly to your unfounded reasons, but i want to add something.

For what i have understood you think Kirito stays with Asuna only because he fears her and she is only dictator that forces him to do all she wants.

But i don't think she forces him to save her in fairy dance, as i don't think he was forced to ask her to come with him in America, on the contrary Kirito in Alicization says that they take very decisions together like a couple and he was very worried that Asuna could say no to his proposal.

And i don't think she forced him to kiss her first time like to her to marry him.

You say that Kirito shares with Sinon his darkest secrets, but (from what i have understood you only have seen anime) he confides with Asuna his darkest secret of SAO : the death of Sachi.

If Kirito fears Asuna and knows little of her, why does he reveal his most important secret?

About last topic i doubt he was sure that Sinon doesn't take any risk at her home because a killer was inside her flat as he mentions in episode 11.

Like ZeHaffen as said he has a terrible feeling when Asuna tells him what Sterben means and undestands that her friend could be a partner of Death Gun

The reason because he doesen't bring Asuna with him and he says nothing to her is obviously to not put her in danger.

And another time this show how Asuna is important to him.

i want to add that Kirito ih a person who worry others first than him.

Kirito that rush to Sinon's house isn't a great argument for your ship because he gives priority to other safety: for example in faircy dance he runs to help Sakuya and Alicie Rue even if Leafa says him to go to Yggdrasill and that isn't his problem and he has to save Asuna.

About popularity if you go to see the polls in this wiki or on subreddit you can see who is most popular ship.

In closing most of your reasons are partisan and unfounded because you have difficulties to find a scene where Kirito shows a little interest in Sinon ; but, to be honest, it's difficult to find where Sinon shows interest in Kirito but

shippers gonna ship.
