because the water in the kitchen heats up faster because there is less water coming through the faucet that has to be heated up. but in the shower you have to heat up a lot more water and so it takes longer.
Both kitchen faucets and a shower body have seats and the seat diameter is approximately the same for both types of faucets
Showers like kitchen faucets also have restricted flow in many areas
The New showers have a single handle and anti scald devices and pressure balancing thus if the valve is not adjusted seasonally you can get severe temperature fluctuations. Also depending on the developed length of the piping you do have ambient temperature considerations to consider as the piping does give off heat

If there is a shut off valve on the bathroom sink, turn it off and on, this might open it up since minerals tend to collect at any point there is a change in materials. Shut it off and take the supply line loose from the valve and with a pan or bucket under it, slowly turn the water on and see if it is going through the valve. If it is, that means it is most likely the faucet itself.

When you take a shower, you're mixing a combination of hot and cold water to make a comfortable temperature for the shower water. A toilet draws only off the cold water system. In older or poorly designed plumbing systems, when you flush the toilet, the cold water is pulled by toilet, so the water coming through the shower is only drawing from the hot water tank.
