MS PGothic, a very common font in Japan, still uses this type of quote. "Quoting like this'' (double quote, then two single quotes) looks the most natural in this font. "Using two double quotes" looks quite odd (see screenshot) [1]
If you've ever seen an English-language page on a Japanese website that used weird quotes, this is probably why.
