I'm sure this has been asked before but why did they used to do this?

Potential fire hazard. Simple as.
Remember TVs of old didn't have auto power off after not receiving a signal/seeing snow for five minutes, but by the time TVs came along that could turn off after five minutes of snow, television services were available 24hrs.

That being said, any electrical item is a potential fire hazard either faulty (or going faulty) or is used inappropriately enough.
