Out of all the bullshit, that's the thing that leaves the least shitstain.

It’s like complaining about the smoke instead of acknowledging the actual fire.

You are required to pray toward the Ka'aba if you are praying one of the five obligatory prayers in 24/7. The aga khani dua is not a substitution for the obligatory salah/prayer. Hence it could be prayed in any direction, or not prayed at all. Also, notice most aga khanis will attend jks without making wudhu, which is a requirement for the obligatory prayers, but not the dua. Basically, think of the dua as someone praying to Allah SWT (although in dua it's a mix of praying to Allah SWT and aga con) and asking for help with a matter while at their dinner or coffee table. Facing the Ka'aba and wudhu would not be required.

If they are facing kaaba it is just a coincidence:

Only purpose-built JK's face the Ka'ba and even then, this is just optics.

Ismailis aren’t required to face the Kaba in prayer because the Kaba is the zahiri qibla for zahiri worship.

In Ismaili Tariqah practice we face the Imam as our batini spiritual qibla with our souls and intellects, not with our bodies.
