Lets look at these bullet points, shall we?

Isn't that kind of the point of some pages? Think of writing a story on a separate user page (like User:Example/book1). Once it's completely finished, why would you need to edit it again? They might forget it's there, yes, but that doesn't mean it no longer exists. Someone can still look at Example's book that he made and enjoy it even if Example (somehow) forgot about it. Yes, this part is kind of true. But in cases where the person has spent lots of time making it, who would ever forget to link it on their profile? In some cases, that is true, but imagine something like Airtoum's CYOA, my /old page, or Example's (pretty long) book. It's not very practical to put it in a togglebox or under a header on only one page. This is also true. But they can delete pages another way: staff request. Sure, it's not just clicking a button, but staff can delete any page that is yours that you want deleted.
 * They are edited very little, if at all, after creation.
 * The authors tend to forget their pages exist.
 * They are often not linked to from any page and not seen by anybody.
 * Their content may very well be included on their author's profile.
 * Their authors cannot delete the pages even if wanted they to.

To be honest, I still don't get why having user extensions is such a bad thing. Aren't user pages supposed to be a free and open way to express things about you (in an appropriate manner), so others can know you better? Aren't user extensions used as a means to make other parts of it smaller? I don't know. Just let us keep our user extensions and I'll be happy.
