Curious why would they wire it like that instead of just daisy chain off of one breaker?

Oh it absolutely shouldn't be wired like that. There's no acceptable reason to wire one plug with two breakers. But it sounds like this is old wiring, if there's no ground, and stuff happens throughout the years.
