But why would you expect the "reflected power" to have a different
effect when the transmission line is a quarter wavelength than when it's
a half wavelength?

If reflected power is fictitious, and the number wavelengths of
transmission line of any random impedance compared to the load
connected to it makes no difference in the load seen by the
transmitter, the output power produced by the transmitter, and the
power dissipated in the far-end termination, then what is the reason
you chose a 1/2 wavelength of transmission line in your quoted post?
