> Any idea why traces are like that ?

Did the person who drew the board have a lazy afternoon and
just threw in some patterns ?

Or did they just not have a clue what they were doing ?

Ditto for whatever routing software was used

Are the patterns part of the design for another board, which
on this model are unused and shorted at various points ?

How many of them are part of the supply lines / ground plane ?
