Simple cost-benefit ratio.
Sending out a bunch of infractions and sin bins requires a large time cost for almost no benefit in terms of adjusting the forum's culture.
Nuking the thread has far lower time cost, but the visibility of it forces everyone involved to evaluate. If the 'offensive posters' also take a look at that and step back a little, then a greater benefit is achieved.
