Bus diversions: lack of information

Just come back from Finsbury Parkrun on the 19 which (along with the 38) was terminating at the top of Rosebery Avenue because of demos in central London. Walked past two bus stops where groups of people (mainly tourists) were waiting. The displays were showing live times for the 19 and 38, as was Google Maps (although with a 'modified service' alert which you have to click on to read). The display on the 19 I was on showed it to be terminating at Rosebery Avenue, so the system knows this, so why can't TfL remove the live times from the stops which aren't served and transmit this info to Google Maps?

I stopped and explained this to the people waiting and suggested they walk to Farringdon and get the tube, but it's very poor in my opinion not to use the system in place to display up-to-date information. Does anyone have any idea why it doesn't happen?
