It's in case you've fallen asleep, so you don't suddenly wake up to find you've "watched" three seasons of whatever show you were on. This is only displayed if there's been no input on the remote for some number of hours.

I still fall asleep and it will go on for 3-4 episodes. It solves nothing other than to annoy me from time to time.

It’s still much easier to figure out which episode you last watched.

I think it does this after 3 episodes of no input. It's a compromise; they don't want to do this after every episode, but they also don't want you to wake up having watched every season of the show.
It would be nice if it was configurable, though. In fact, it might well configurable; I've never really checked, because the current setting is fine by me.
