I actually like the continuity and think it is valuable. As Dan pointed out, losing people from the TAG can disrupt the flow of work, and having some "institutional memory" is valuable.

Likewise, as far as I know Tim is chair of the TAG in name only - 2 of his 3 appointees are there as chair, and I think that role is pretty important to most groups, including the TAG.

In my own experience on the AB, in principle people could read the mailing list and minutes for the last few years to find out what had already been discussed before they joined, but it seems rare that it actually happens, resulting in revisiting things that don't need to be rehashed (as well as revisiting questions that are due to be revisited - it isn't as if the answers to questions that were given from 5-10 years ago should never be re-opened).
