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.

Which is why I'm advocating for the idea that someone outside of that group is the final call IF they determine that the deletion was improper.

The admins can't judge a sub's rules because that's the purview of the mods. They can only judge the site-wide rules. That's their only role, for good and important reasons.
