why can anyone even buy that. wouldn't it make more sense for it to be split up and part of the nearest house lot or city owned for rear access for garage or something?
It's pretty common for these strips to be sold off separately, the idea being that they typically don't have much value independently, but as you say, can be combined with adjacent lots for access or expansion. Some speculators will buy them up, hoping to profit by selling thrm on when the owners of a neighbouring property want to extend.
