Well, it's not like the Keys and the Stripes (I much prefer The Black Keys, btw) are miles apart on the musical spectrum, so the comparisons are inevitable. Even their names are complementary. It's mostly lazy journalistic shorthand whenever one is brought up w/r/t the other, I think.
For fans of either, another two-piece mining similar territory, check out Left Lane Cruiser.
