Toplane is an isolated island that, while has few entrances and is generally hard to gank outright, has a champion pool that excels at diving, lane fighting and generally being extremely hard to push off. Kayle has some options of those, but either has to wait until "it is actually a good idea to do so" or is not as great from a baseline perspective.

Midlane is much easier lane to fight off, thanks to the fact that champions there have an actual resource Kayle can stall out and the lane is so short, that you can just outplay ganks. Ideally, you want to never have to ward for ganks and instead, ward for roams, which is much safer and much easier to do.

The downside is that Toplane and Midlane have different tempos of scaling. Midlane scales faster so, sometimes, Kayle can feel like she needs to ramp up to do her damage, where as in Toplane, you can be excused for scaling by yourself, which can help Kayle accumulate gold faster and thus, actually be ready to fight whenever she is ok with it.
