Why do you keep saying that? VS. Why do you say that?

Why do you keep saying that? VS. Why do you say that?

I feel like they carry the same meaning because they all mean that you say something habitually.

Am I right?

What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much as usual in advance!

"Why do you say that?" is not habitual.

B: Why do you say that?
C. They care only about themselves, not the public.

Thank you so much!

And I was wondering if "Why did you say that?" is better in B's reply?

And in the situation, is there a meaning or nuance difference between the present tense and the past tense?

Thank you so much again!
