Anyone who reads shojo(smut), hentai, erogames or geicomi and any genre with sex knows that rape is common or a recurring trope. So it being a “yaoi exclusive” trope and that authors are only adding it to compete with yaoi eliminates any autonomy from the author to add things they like or always wanted to add in their stories. The comments are similar to when a woman says she likes fat, hairy men and someone says "This is so gay male of you" as if it was something exclusive of gay men.
The korean gl market operates very different from japanese yuri since the way they sell is different (magazines in which you must maintain an “aesthetic” vs. chapters of series that you can buy individually using tags) but even in the japanese yuri doujinshi market you hardly see sex.
Korean gl doesn’t follow the same structure as japanese yuri, in the last years it has developed in its own thing. So korean gl being mostly nsfw is the reason why you see rape, as many other nsfw author use it in their stories. Eng yuri vn devs I follow add it too for example.
the comments about anatomy being a yaoi thing are also fun but I don’t want to rant more
