I dont know the exact answer to this, but as I understand it, solvers tend to prefer smaller bets in multiway pots. And I assume, its something about stack protection, when several opponents can have the nuts, and maybe also the fact, that the players next to act have to be very tight. In this situation, if BTN had KJ, he might actually be supposed to fold to such a large C-bet, because he also have to worry about the two guys behind him. And obviously thats not a great outcome, when we are betting for value.

Strong draws are pretty much always getting the right odds to continue on the flop, unless we do something completely unusual like overbet, so its a bit of a misconception to bet large on the flop to "protect against draws". The street, where you can actually do that, is on the turn, when there is only one more card to come. Anyways this is the theory, but if you are playing in a game, where people will massively overvalue their hand, as the guy with KJ did here, then larger sizing can never be that bad. As I said, the hand is basically a bad beat story.
