"How is it that the same culture that reveres minimalism also delights in maximalism, too? " That temple is a great example of maximalist minimalism. Sure there's great detail, but it's all neatly framed in a simple layout, with a repetitive pattern, etc. Actually that sums up all the examples. They may be messy in a way, complex, detailed etc, but they're still constrained to simple patterns and layouts (square shelving, etc), so not really maximalism at all, in fact.
