Thematically, its bullshit. Despite all the magic in LoL (even in Lee Sin's own back story) it only works if tied to some form of logic.

If magic is boundless, then why doesn't one side just blow the other to bits? If they are matched, you risk running on the "power of plot" where everything happens for story's sake and all explanation can be swapped with "just cos".

Lee Sin is a monk, he uses physical martial arts. The root and the potency of a toe connection kick just seems really off.

Mechanically, aye, it is there to guarantee the direction of the kick (since champions like Olaf, Darius, Hecarim and so on don't need similar to land their abilities) but it just seems like more coddling for champions stressed as being "skilful". Nothing to do with skill if counterplay is removed at that moment! If the person dashes, flashes, jumps or moves enough then they should be rewarded by mucking up the kick. Otherwise, the kick will probably go off normally anyway without the root.
