Borrowerd time against oblivious effect
Why is BT not applied to the unhooked survivor when the person unhooking has the oblivious status effect?
Why is the person on the hook punished for me being asleep or just walking over a demo portal?

If you want the mechanical reason, it's because Borrowed Time only activates if you are within the killer's terror radius. Since oblivious removes the terror radius, BT doesn't activate.
If you're looking for the logic behind why the devs changed it, I don't know. My guess would be by way of a small nerf, so that the perk is counterable by stealth killers.

In that case, I would guess they did it in the name of unifying everything across the board, so that they didn't have to pinpoint it on a case-by-case basis. It just made it simpler from a programming perspective and a game knowledge perspective. Rather than saying "this affects Borrowed Time, this doesn't" I suppose it was easier just to go, "If the rescuer can hear a heartbeat, the perk is active. If they can't, it isn't. No exceptions."
Not saying that was the right decision, just continuing to speculate as to what the devs' logic may have been.

It got countered by Stealth Killers before, a Ghost Face in Night Shroud will also counter Undetectable.
It is simply stupid that Freddy can completely ignore BT, there is no reason for that (same the other way around - no reason a Survivor should see Freddy all the Time with OoO while asleep)... Oblivious for Freddy was a bad decision.
