It’s because they think you’re too dumb to get the joke and wanna let you know that something funny happened.

MASH had a laugh track that the creators hated, but the network insisted on. As a compromise, they agreed not to use the track during surgical scenes.

If you watch the Canadian version it didn’t have a laugh track. IMO a much better presentation of the show.

So you’ll know it’s supposed to be funny.
If you’ve ever watched the the videos of the Big Bang Theory sitcom with the laugh tracks removed, you’ll notice it feels a lot more like a group of people being shitty and verbally abusive towards each other and it’s not all that funny without being told to laugh.
Why go through the trouble of writing an actual funny dialogue when you can just tell the viewers it’s funny and they’ll laugh?

Maybe that’s why current year sitcoms are so lame, the laugh track made the "mean"ness a joke
