Because long running anime makes more ad money from TV. Streaming might make filler episodes a thing of the past, but this clip is from maybe 15 years ago.
I was going to argue the practice bleeds away audiences, but i guess this was for kids tv and kids are both stupid and left with not a lot of options for tv.

Might? I don’t think fillers even exist anymore. The only old style shonen left are black clover and my hero
Full filler episodes might not exist but one piece episodes are still 50% filler.
Depends on what you mean filler I guess. Like padding or stretched runtime as opposed to whole filler arcs like in bleach or Naruto.
I mean the things being talked about in the OP video?..
There aren’t usually whole filler episodes anymore but there’s a lot of weird fluff in Demon Slayer that wasn’t in the manga.
Are anime-original episodes considered filler too? Because the last episode of Makeine is anime-original, though the author wrote the story.
And there’s also The Promised Neverland S2 and Wonder Egg Priority, from what I remember.
