In short, I don't know.

I mentioned this because I have seen this somewhere in the wild, I just cannot for the life of me find where I saw it (I've been looking).

At the time I tried to understand why <figure> was chosen, couldn't, and filed it away in the place in my head where I store odd HTML element use.

Otherwise I agree with Léonie. I cannot fathom a reason to do this, but I assume that's my own lack of creativity.
