Because you can have "master -> slave -> slave ...".
The NOTIFY defaults support this configuration and it does
no harm other than a little extra traffic. If you don't
want the slave to send notify messages then you can disable
them at the zone level.
BIND 9.4.0 has:
1595. [func] New notify type 'master-only'. Enable notify for
master zones only.
You can then selective re-enable slave zones if required.
