This isn't crappy design. It's hedging bets. You're not allowed to smoke, period. However, they know people are gonna be assholes and do it anyway, so this way they don't ash all over the place or start a fire with not put out butts.
It's the same reason even new planes being built have ashtrays in the bathrooms and are required to do so.

Maybe it's a "weed only" ashtray.

It's for putting out the smoke in case someone didnt see the sign, or was asked to by staff. It's a fire hazard to throw them in the trash.
