Is your house 1970's ish construction?
I have a property of that period similarly wired.
Live loops around switches, neutral between ceiling roses - quite confusing
till you get your head round it!
Wouldn't suprise me if this was done for cheapness.
With new additions to mine, I've tended to adopt modern wiring protocols
(rightly or wrongly).

That is modern protocol, just not as common as the 'loop-in' method.
It's not wrong, just different. It's a lot easier, both on 1st and 2nd
fix, always has been, always will be. I find it a lot easier to do it
that way, especially when there are quite a few different switching
and lighting arrangements in one area.
