Research direction
Review the repository examples that use timers and compare their update-checking approach with the linked ROS 2 ParameterEventHandler tutorials. First determine which examples are in scope and whether polling is intentional; done would mean the reason is clarified or the examples are updated to use ParameterEventHandler, with the relevant example checks passing.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Seems like a lost opportunity to showcase best practices. Using a ParameterEventHandler (C++/Python) seems like a nicer fit when checking for updates instead of using a timer that polls for changes every x seconds.
I'd be happy to make a PR, just want check in case there's a reason behind it I'm not aware of.
