I must be missing something obvious, here, huh?

I think in part is has to do with the surface area of contact from the spade versus the pin loaded into the hole. Additionally the spades may be tightened better for better contact with the binding post (but be careful of them loosening (and making contact with each other or the amp/receiver chassis this can cause a short [I blew my amp more than once this way]) than the pin of the banana plug inserted into the hole of the binding post.
