Strange bulkhead routing

I was on a site visit earlier to look at a potential fitout of a bank from the 80s that was renovated late 90s or early 2000s. It’s got some dated design features throughout, but the one thing I couldn’t wrap my head around was how this bulkhead routed directly through the glass storefront system, and then abruptly ended right after, for no apparent reason. I’m assuming this was a relic of a previous renovation somewhere along the way and then they added the storefront for an additional office, and maybe the work associated with removing a bigger portion of the bulkhead and joining the two ceiling assemblies was not ideal… but even so. I think this is actually worse than if they would’ve allowed it to terminate directly into the glass 🤣 it’s even shown this way on the as built plans I found on site
