To give a detailed answer, I would have to do some research, but here's a quick answer: It's easier to enforce.

We have 50+ years of material, 67,000+ pages, dozens of policy pages, and less than 10 users who regularly clean up edits (and only two of them are admins who have page-deleting abilities). It's a fact that many of the rules on the wiki are made (at least partially) for ease of enforcement.

When I have some free time, I'll look up the old discussions and post more here.
