Not sure if it's the case here, but where I live they trim the trees like that so they don't interfere with the electrical lines.

As someone who does utility designs, yes. This is a requirement for when anyone attaches.
If a telecom wants to co-locate/overlash on an existing power pole, they're required to bring the pole to spec.
Which, according to NESC standards, means you have to be a minimum of 10' away from foliage.
They got rid of the tree in my mom's front yard that I grew up with because it was growing into the power lines
If the wires were removed - it could be used in a film.
"What's up with that tree?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"C'mon."
"Have you ever heard of Aleister Crowley?"
