Hi, thanks for the interest. I am one the of the authors of the paper. To clarify, the main goal of ASAP is to automatically select a reasonable smoothing parameter for time-series. Moving average is already widely used for time-series visualization and dashboards, but setting the width of the window is a usually manual process. If you're interested, our extended version of the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.00983.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.00983.pdf) contains some empirical comparisons of the moving average function with other smoothing functions like FFT and the Savitzky–Golay filter.
