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.
However, it wouldn’t let you add lists of shows and create channels that way. I never got around to making my version, but perhaps someone else has done the work since then.
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.
