Kings indian- four pawns attack

My question, is why does black allow the 4 pawns attack to happen. Wouldn't white gain complete control of the center. What does black have, to make up for that control.

Black counterattacks against those central pawns. White shouldn't be able to maintain them, but he hopes to translate his crumbling center into an attack on Black's king.

In most KIDs White is winning on the queenside but not here.

The game isn't all about mass controlling the center. You would need to be higher rated to understand.
