Yes, that is a bit odd. I'd be happy if those entries disappeared
You can send text messags to some landlines, at least in the UK. But not all landlines!

Some landline companies convert incoming texts to electronic speech, and then phone the landline and speak it or leave a voicemail.

I think you can send and receive proper texts with the right landline phones, too.

But it would be great to have a way to avoid sending texts to landlines by accident, which I've done a few times on other phones when specifying a contact by name in a text message.
Because usually the result is a message sent to /dev/null and the sender doesn't realise.
