We don't just pick Wikipedia policies and use them. When relevant and reasonable we might look at them for inspiration and if they work the way we want to work then we might use them as a base. We cherry-pick them. What Wikipedia decides what to do with inactive sysops is irrelevant here.

The sorting and organization of Special:ListUsers/sysop is nothing like it is on Wikipedia. We have no worry of inactive sysops going rogue. We don't have 1000+ sysops.

Frankly as long as we still have an inactive user with a bureaucrat flag, every single rationale for removing an inactive sysop's flag is moot.
