I think a better analogy might be this:
Someone in my city opens their doors to the public and invites over everyone for a pot luck. Bring what you can, you don't have to bring anything at all. The only rule is that it is Italian food.
People come and share, the owner has some rules posted saying only Italian food and be nice to other people.
I come in with a Chicago style pizza. It's still pizza. Still would be considered Italian food. Maybe a variation that not everybody likes but is still valid.
People start taking a few slices and liking it. The host sees this and throws the pizza in the trash saying it's not Italian
I take the host around back in private and ask why they did that, it's valid for the pot luck. Their reasoning is they have had problems with Chicago pizza in the past and doesn't like it. They shut me down and try to ignore it ever happened. I let everyone else know what happened, including some of the people who ate my Chicago pizza. There are a few different opinions but it spurs a thoughtful ad relevant discussion with a goal of getting the community there to decide if it should have been allowed.
The host really doesn't like this, kicks me out of the house, listens in on the discussion, and starts kicking others out as well who don't like what's happening.
I can't come back. I like pizza potlucks and the people there. So now I have to spend time getting my house ready to host my own parties with friends. It won't be the same as it was before, but neither will the house that was previously popping with pizza. Their reputation will be sullied and it will have a chilling effect.

I get mods are necessary, i get private instances get to decide. But when you're trying to be a public central forum, you need to allow discussion or plainly outline what is by allowed in the rules.
Brining up a potential issue to the community in a polite way to discuss it is not drama. This is the perfect time for such a discussion with everyone lands here after reddit admins started abusing their power.
I don't see how trying to get explanations on why something is banned when community standards allow it and starting an honest an open discussion to further build out those standards is stirring shit and starting drama. But if it makes you feel better to think I'm a twit, i don't really care. Do you
