She has always liked this instrument

This is translated by Kwiziq and others as "elle a toujours aimé cet instrument" so I expect that is correct but why is it not "elle aimait toujours cet instrument"?

The action is not completed, it is ongoing. Why doesn't that make L'Imparfait the appropriate tense?
