my question is why would anyone do this, as this apparently does not make
sense.

someone (vietel) illogically delegated whole /24 subnet to broken servers:

199.212.125.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN      NS      dns2.vietel.com.vn.
199.212.125.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN      NS      dns1.vietel.com.vn.

0.199.212.125.in-addr.arpa has address 125.235.4.59
1.199.212.125.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 1.0-24.199.212.125.in-addr.arpa.
...
255.199.212.125.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 255.0-24.199.212.125.in-addr.arpa.
