As a web dev, I honestly can’t figure out the value here. It makes things considerably less legible from an inspection standpoint. And while yes each div provides a handle by which to independently control some layout property the law of diminishing returns kicks in hard by about three layers deep (three block level elements deep will cover 99.9% of things you might want to do with a given visual-block element).
I can only imagine this kind of markup is tooling generated and assumes that no human eyes will ever have to review/write it.
