I have recently switched to ArcPro for work and noticed that when I convert a point feature to a kml, it does not keep the point rotation like it does in ArcMap. Instead all the points are rotated in the same direction.  I have not found a check box or option to enable or disable rotation in the Layer to KML tool.

The rotation of each point is based on an angle field which uses a geographic rotation style.

How the points look in Pro:

There is an enhancement request - "ENH-000125666 - Provide the ability to preserve the rotation of the symbols in the KMZ file created using Layer to KML tool in ArcGIS Pro" that is currently under review.  Hopefully in a (near) future update, this will be corrected.
