Greetings, Versioned packages are allowed both in the official repositories and on the AUR, provided they are packaged properly. Just because a package is not useful to you personally doesn't mean it should be deleted. Even orphaned packages with no dependencies are allowed as long as they work, because there is no reason to delete them.
This particular package is required to run MATLAB <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/matlab>, which I will update in a few days. See its comments for more information if you are interested.
