I suspect that it is about availability. Strawberries are only available for a few months each year. Bananas are easy to find on the go. Of course eating greens kale/broccoli is cheaper, more nutritious and more traditional so maybe the whole banana = potassium thing is all just some elaborate United Fruit Company marketing scam.
*Edit: following up on this, it does look like "banana are a good source of potassium" is indeed a united fruit company marketing myth.
