Why all the fuss over these debatable ‘books’ added to/left out of the bible?

Catholics pick and choose over the rest of it any way.

Most famously (or Infamous; if you prefer):

Call no man father.

They need actual Scriptural warrant for their distinctives which they can only wish the only wholly inspired-of-God and substantive record of what the New Testament church believed provides.

2 Macc. 12:44-45 is thus invoked as supporting mythical RC Purgatory , yet what it teaches is about men who died due to being idolators, thus being guilty of a mortal sin for which there is no hope, and prayers and sacrifice being made for them that they might attain to the resurrection (of the just), yet which those in RC Purgatory are assured of any way (though their imagined suffering can be reduced by offerings of the faithful in this realm).

But that is another subject. Read my other posts here as regards the exclusion of these from the Palestinian canon of the Hebrews.
