Sorry, but there is an important step missing in your 'logical conclusions'.
Cunctator unprotected the page -> The page was protected. Correct. (after
 correct workding)
The page was protected -> Someone protected the page. Correct (in all
 probability).
Someone protected the page -> A sysop protected the page. Correct.
A sysop protected the page -> A sysop abused their power. Nope, sorry.

General rule is that sysops should not protect pages that they are involved
in. The general rule is NOT that sysops should not protect pages. If that
were the rule, sysops would not have been given the possibility to protect
pages in the first place.
