It's enough time to determine if more time is needed. Admins are selected for their good judgement - try trusting them. The deleting admin just needs to click on the link to the article in the fair use rationale (if it doesn't state the article [and it's not just that the image page has been edited recently], then the image should be deleted straight away), and see if the removal was controversial. If some controversy starts after the 24 hours is up, then the image can be re-uploaded, or undeleted. Neither is much work. I would imagine any admin would undelete an image under such circumstances if asked.
So some knocks out the image 00.01 sunday with the result that no one notices before 00.01 monday and image gets deleted when it should not have been. No 7 days means it is generaly fairly safe to assume that any contrivery will be mentioned on the page or is all over.
