Did Mike M made a mistake with the Kings? (WSOP spoiler)

his agressive play also leads to his opponents with hands a lot worse than aces taking shots at him

I agree with most of what you wrote except the above. No one was taking a shot at Matosow in this situation.

In this situation you had an early raiser then a reraise by a short stack that appeared to want a call from the early raiser. My guess is that when Matosow looked down and saw K,K that's all he thought of and just reacted and pushed. I'm not faulting him for that or even saying that I would not have done the same thing. But if you read HOH you'll find a paragraph in which Harrington tells you that when faced with a tough decision to pause for a moment and recreate the hand and the action. This is very good advice. Would it have made a difference? Maybe not but just maybe it would have.
