When was there consensus to ensure every article uses the

section headings style?
Since a long, long time ago.
Certainly I seem to remember both being allowed - the theory being to
stick
with whatever style the article was begun with - like the US English vs. English approach.
AFAIK, this has never been in the style guidelines.
One thing I've found even more perplexing than the prevalence of Headings Like This is the prevalence of level-three headings where level-2 headings ought to be; I keep running into them far more often than I feel I should; [[Vanilla Ice]] is one such article. I have a feeling this is because people find level-2 headings are too big (the same reason in the early days of HTML a lot of people used <h3> instead of <h1>), but I really don't have any actual idea why this is happening.
