Yeah, just b/c he is stubborn enough and doesn't wish to give up his vanity plate instead of folding. Pretty much nothing that hard/uphill battle has happened to him.

There are two options: die on the hill, or retreat. He is not retreating. Therefore he has chosen to die on the hill.
Those would be the options if there was an attack against him, but there's not any attack against him. Wrongly addressed tickets are hardly even a minor inconvenience. I think that's what the parent is saying.
It's a figure of speech; when used colloquially in this manner, it has nothing to do with any kind of attack.
It just means "argue a point on principle when you know you aren't going to affect change".

Now I wonder what you would consider a minor inconvenience. "Oh yeah that time they suspended my licence that was a minor inconvenience for me."
Wrongly addressed tickets are a real hassle. I'd assume that if you don't contest them in time, you have to pay them. And if you don't pay them, they will suspend your licence. (I don't really know. But I assume that's what would happen.)
