Why is it difficult to deal with absolute sensor readings, as opposed to readings crossing a threshold in HA? Triggering an action because you are below a threshold (absolute reading) rather than crossing the actual threshold seems excessively complicated. I’m sure there are plenty of good reasons, but …
A similar question really about HA only responding to changes.

It’s not difficult. You just haven’t been shown how to do it. One trigger and one condition. For example to execute actions on any sensor value below 42:
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.foo
to: # null "to" triggers on *all* state changes, ignores attribute changes
condition:
- condition: numeric_state # only do the action if the state value is below 100
entity_id: sensor.foo
below: 42
action:
