Why is it that we don't have deletion wars among admins?
We do.
You can argue it's
because admins are better than that, or you can argue that it's because
admins know they'd be deadminned if they did such a thing. But either
argument could apply to any editor. We don't have to allow editors to
get
into deletion wars.
The reason they are rare is there are fairly strong rules in place
over what an admin can delete and when.

That's why I don't really understand the purpose of letting all users
delete. I'm not opposed to it, and don't see the disadvantage, but I don't
see why it's an advantage either.
Really I think the best solution would be to get rid of Articles for
Deletion and replace it with...nothing. Pure trash which can't be fixed can
be speedily deleted. Anything else can be turned into a short factual
article or a redirect.
