Is it just me or does Family Guy not belong on Freeform?

Looking at the upcoming schedule, Freeform is like PG-13 at it's highest with things that are arguably for the whole family or at least a teen audience (like Jurrasic World), but has a lot of things like Beauty and the Beast (1991 animated version), Lion King, and Shrek. It has The Simpsons too, but that's a tamer show which fits into the lineup. Family Guy is even included in the 25 Days of Christmas, featuring the episode where Stewie and Brian break into someone's house and bludgeon the family. What are your thoughts...am I alone in this?
 
Nope, not surprised since Freeform aired Pretty Little Liars, American Life Of A Teenage Kid, etc. They aired the shows when it was still called ABC Family a lot wanted them to take Family out the name of the channel since they said wasn't family-friendly. Even know most of the daytime lineup was family-friendly with Boy Meets World, Melissa & Joey, The Middle, etc. Boy Meets World hasn't been on for a few years on the channel they took it off right before it was rebranded Freeform.
 
Disney owns Freeform. Disney owns Family Guy.

Yet while every episode of Family Guy can be streamed on Hulu (also owned by Disney), the "streaming configuration" for The Simpsons is split where the current season is on Hulu, while prior seasons are on Disney+. It's so weird.
