WTH is a template required to evaluate date AND time condition?

I was setting up my Christmas music automation to trigger after a specific date and time (using a time/date helper) and found that the GUI has a provision for doing this as a trigger, but not as a condition. Using a template to evaluate as a condition works, but having a GUI provision would be so much easier.

As a sidebar, this is currently in the works.
