It's good practice to have working reverse DNS for all of your public IP space. Using a short domain name is convenient. There are a number of ISPs that own their AS number as a domain such as as12345.net and use that for their rDNS, so it will show up nicely in traceroutes either direction.

Google has done something a little bit different here, it's not their AS number, but same general concept.

Google is big enough they own/need several ASNs. Having a dedicated domain totally makes sense.
