why play kings pawn

"There is no such thing as a 'best opening.' Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)

you play Kings pawn to control d5 and f5, you play queens pawn to control c5 and e5. If black allows it you play both King Pawn and Queen pawn although after you play King pawn, black cannot really prevent you playing queen pawn but seeks to take the sting out of it. Many King pawn openings take on the character of Queen pawn if black decides to exchange the King pawn early like in the Scandinavian. After playing the Queen pawn you cannot really force through the King pawn that is why white attacks the centre from the wings with moves like c4 instead.
i think queens pawn is better why do people play kings pawn more
