I have a feeling the Ritual is sort of a 'bedtime story' to these half-asleep giants. It stays the same and ends the way they more-or-less want it to, they go back into dormancy for the rest of the year. But with The Purge, it basically broke about half of their guidelines, and failed their desired plot, thus making them mad, 'wake up' fully and invoke the destruction of humanity.

Sort of in the way people are entertained by Sharknado, but wouldn't call it a good movie/rewatch it/etc.
