For NBC I think, it’s that those shows are still fairly popular so they’re a big part of the network’s brand.

This was basically my thought. There's a reason the best joke on 30 Rock was "make it 1997 again by science or magic".

You can also argue that them doing it is part of why they remain popular.

They are all extremely rewatchable, law and order(all of them), Chicago Shows, parks and rec, the office. I can sit down and watch a random episode of CHicago pd and generally not have to worry about watching the next episode as most are self contained "monsters of the week" episodes.
