Yes, it does seem like garbage...
The rationale, in years past, was a lot of email marketing was done by outside companies, but the mailing list was kept in-house... and transmitted to the "mass emailer" only periodically... say, every month.
In that case, yes, it took a while before the emails stopped.
More and more, however, I suspect that answer is bovine excretion, because more companies are doing the emails themselves.
