It's somehow related to Parkinson's Law. Relatively speaking, the Userbox War was the lesser in importance; that explains why it would be more hotly debated. :-)

Wow, inclusionist/deletionist seems like a quaint, remembered bump in the road compared to the Userbox Wars.

The difference is that there was never any chance of that issue being fought over at an admin vs admin level. In that exchange it didn't matter much if you were an admin or not. This time around there has been far more direct admin admin conflict with both deletion and protection being used by admins trying to get their way. Thus it makes no sense to allow people who have actively opposed your position to have an admin flag.
The same happened to a lesser degree with the inclusionist/deletion conflict.
