"Maine" is a lot shorter than "an entire state."
I hate this "obscure the most relevant information for clicks" shit.
To be fair, "an entire x" does have markedly different connotation than "x". The emphasis is that it's, well, the entirety of x. It's the difference between "i ate the cereal" and "i ate all the cereal".
They could have easily fit "the entire state of Maine".
For sure, but as long as clickbait works they'll keep doing it.
