I think the self cancel is in there because your side is fearful the emergency closure provision will work too well and the American people won't let you cancel it. I doubt that fear is the motivation; maybe it's a sop to the few votes that would otherwise vote against the new bill, but more likely it allows the House to keep the issue on the front burner for the 2028 election year. If the bill works well, it will be a beneficial campaigning point for the proponents of extending the bill. If it isn't working well enough, it's an opportunity to modify the bill.
Also, it gives states an opportunity to push for modifications that serve their unique labor needs. This is particularly true for states in which agriculture is a major economic component.
There are scads of bills that have been passed and then modified over the last 75 years. Recently, for example:
newhouse.house.gov - Farm workforce modernization act
