Because the people who run the name servers for 44.136.216.in-addr.arpa,
for unknown reasons, have added entries of the form
104.44.136.216.in-addr.arpa. PTR ip104.44.136.216.in-addr.arpa.
I guess they want to hide something, and still have a DNS reverse entry.
It's rather pointless IMHO, since we can use whois to get
