It's long running, so you want a database so you can store your state. If you're storing state, locking it into a state machine makes sense.
I do agree with some of the commenters that making it closer to an event source design would make more sense still.
I used to run a plugin on my Kodi that would make TV-style channels based on the original airing channel, complete with EPG and everything.

Darmok and Jalad on the ocean.
For non mathematicians, ABS() returns the absolute (i.e. positive) value of a number, e.g. abs(5) = 5 = abs(-5)
I assume it's the standard inertia-type reasons: doing nothing is easier than changing a bunch of stuff, not changing involves fewer unknowns, and they probably have ad blockers and custom rules that mean they don't personally have to deal with the worst of it.
