Far too often they don't. Which sucks. But they always seem to have already had too much of a personal investment in the situation before it even happened. Which led them to assume they could make the right call. So yeah. You're right that they should. But how often it happens is usually an entirely different thing.
(We can only speak from experience, if someone else's experience with moderators is different, that doesn't exactly effect what I've seen, only adds to the bigger picture.)
Of course the biggest issue in the "right and wrong ways to moderate" debate is that what qualifies as "fair" treatment is purely subjective, I would say that the fairestr way to resolve a conflict is to mediate a resolution, forcing the issue only if absolutely necessary, so that nobody feels they were unjustly targeted, especially for something that wasn't their fault. Somebody else however might say that the fairest way to resolve a conflict is to immediately stamp it out to spare everyone else from having to see it any longer. Some might say that picking sides at all, regardless of the merits of either position, is inherently unfair and should be avoided.
