Bandwidth usage.
If you had every box on the network requesting the entire epg data every 15mins then it'd be a pretty major strain on the system.
That's over 100x the current load that the EPG servers have.

What would be better is if there was a major epg download every night, and then it checked more frequently for a file of changes which it could merge into the epg data.
