I think what you are arguing is something different to

is actually that you weren't warned. I don't think anyone would
disagree that you should have been notified before the deletions took
place.
There were thousands of images (possibly tens of thousands) that
qualified for speedy deletion under the new policy. Issuing warnings
to the uploader of each such image would have interminably delayed the
cleanup, which was already well-overdue. Repeated public notices were
issued; we're sorry you missed them or did not realize they applied to
you.
