That's the crux. Continous Delivery means exactly that. You want to release early, small and often. Trunk-based development and having every PR that is merged to master be deployed to production in a very short timeframe fits that very well. That's very possible with a solid CI/CD pipeline, good tests, and something that can be deployed often like a web app.
If you don't do continuous delivery, trunk-based development might be a less natural fit.
