So, what are you saying, that you disagree with the arb com decision? If so, hey, I do too, but as long as people are getting desysopped for restoring controversial out-of-process speedy deletions I think you're going to have a tough time convincing admins to do so without a deletion review.
Just as there is a difference between reverting an edit to an article and edit warring, there is a difference between undeleting an article that's just been deleted and wheel warring. From my memory of the arbcom decision, only admins which deleted or undeleted more than once were desysoped.
Yes, there's a difference, but according to the arb com both are wrong: at least one admin who only undeleted the article once was "strongly cautioned", and the text I quoted says that DRV is supposed to be used for controversial out-of-process speedy deletions. Incidently, the arb com decision also acknowledges temporary undeletion as a valid though optional part of deletion review.
