The whole reason it does that is to make the Jamba team the same as the ISBoxer team, so that they don't have to manually set up a Jamba team when we already know exactly what team should be loaded.
I would have very much preferred to make a call into Jamba API with the list of players that should be currently on the team, and Jamba would then take the list and make sure the active team list is correct. There is no reason that this cannot be done "at every loading screen".
Jamba never had such a feature, so I shoe-horned it in via the ISBoxer Addon. The only way to do it via the Jamba API that existed at the time was to delete the whole team and re-add it, because there was no way built into Jamba for ISBoxer to check if the list was the same -- only completely recreate the team list.
This was back in the Jafula days -- we did not particularly coordinate on an API and nothing related in ISBoxer Addon has changed since then.
At this point, the ISBoxer team list is supposed to be kept in an accessible list via the ISBoxer Addon, although there is a minor bug I noticed recently where it doesn't actually get populated. Either way it was never used by ISBoxer, and such a thing was never requested by other Addon authors, so it was not prioritized.
So, here we are, you're complaining about how ISBoxer does it, which it does because there was never a coordinated API between Jamba and ISBoxer. All ISBoxer wants to do is provide a list of the actual current characters on the team. Jamba, EMA, whatever, should ideally take that list and match it itself, so that ISBoxer doesn't have to do any deleting.
