Like, something actually happens at halftime, but the quarter change seems meaningless. What am I missing?

When one team has more Quarters than Dimes, the other team must forfit 12 monopoly Dollars, and go down a snake instead of a ladder. there are a few more complex rules, but that is if the other team connected four.

The field should be pretty even in a goddamn NFL game. I think it's an excuse to play commercials.

Yes.

The in-game justification is switching ends of the field, which can be a factor sometimes depending on wind conditions and such.

Yeah, the weather is a factor, and in some stadiums one side of the field has more fans of the home team. As far as I can tell that's more the case in college football, though, where they'll put the student section right there.
