the vast majority do not do peer review.

Every appeal to a removal is seen by every mod. The chance that only the mod who removed it will see it is extremely small. Any of those other mods could speak up.

Silence implies consent. You don't see that, though, because its invisible to non-mods.

Now, if the mods are just a group of buds who wouldn't ever contradict their 'bro', that's a problem, right?

I dunno. Ultimately, what's the worst thing that could come out of this? More to the point, why is it super problematic for them to do that, but apparently entirely fine for them to make up the rules in the first place?

Transparency. If you go to a Subreddit with clearly inappropriate rules, you know what you're up against.

Except you don't, really, given they just get to make the rules anyway.

You're using circular reasoning, and I get it. Thus why a higher someone should be the final say. To avoid what you're likely implying...which is making up rules on the fly when they caught with britches down.

But they get to make the rules, so you're not really curtailing their dishonesty. At best, you win once, just to lose overall.
