Just because the outcome is the same doesn't mean the reasoning for doing so was the same. Crappy links are deleted for all sorts of reasons, mostly because they're crappy, even if they would also have been deleted under that strawman BADSITES policy.
I can't help feeling this was the main aim of that whole strawman: to make it harder to remove crappy links *because they are crappy*. The main site active in this is, after all, spectacularly crappy.
No, the aim of BADSITES was to demonstrate how pathetic and unwanted existing practice was. This was highly successful.
