Actually, I think you might be getting a wrong picture of the show. I'm not much into cartoons, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fun and crazy Kim Possible is. The show is definitely about Kim, but it's about Kim's friends, family, and archrivals, too, so they'll sometimes get an episode with a focus on them.
The show's geared towards younger children, most of whom have siblings and who know all about thinking how annoying and stupid and unfun your brother(s)/sister(s) are, so of course the show is transporting a message here. There are a ton of shows with a main character who is a boy, who's learning to appreciate his little/big brothers/sisters better.
As for Ron, he is the supporting character when it comes to Kim-Ron dynamics, and he often complains about not being cool enough, so he sometimes gets the chance to save the day by being a klutz. More often than not, it's Kim who shines and saves his butt with her awesome, and I think it's really sweet how they sometimes envy each other a bit, but are still great friends despite that.
