It really just doesn't feel intuitive.
There's a global rule in Shadow Era that means cards only have an ongoing effect if they are in play.

The exception to the global rule are negative effects which will "stick" for their specified duration (if any). They are all defined in the rulebook (poisoned, ablaze, frozen, disabled, can't attack, can't defend, can't use abilities). Having passives temporarily taken away is not considered a negative effect.
