From a spending POV I think it's logical for them. I think the model they have at the moment is something like: rise a cloud vm with the BF server and the moment the match is done it shuts down, and that repeats itself for the rest of the servers we get matched in. Instead of keeping the vm alive nonstop it will close it thus EA wont have to pay for the resources the vm is using. if persistent. In short you pay what you use and EA thinks it will lose money if the servers will be persistent. I'm 100% sure they could optimize costs if they put a little effort into it even if the servers are persistent but I have little hope with DICE.

Of course you loose money on that. Cost optimisation already happened and it is cheaper to have in ot demand rather sit there the whole time.
