Any reason G Trends is doing this?

I noticed a sitemap for the trends subdomain.

http://www.gstatic.com/trends/websites/sitemaps/sitemapindex.xml

Listing thousands of "trends" urls:

http://www.gstatic.com/trends/websites/sitemaps/sitemap1.txt

Which is telling google search to index these kind of pages [snippet]:
trends.google.com/websites?q=videochat.ru
trends.google.com/websites?q=vipsurf.ru
trends.google.com/websites?q=vkontpakte.ru
trends.google.com/websites?q=vobis.ru
trends.google.com/websites?q=volsu.ru
trends.google.com/websites?q=vpcards.ru
trends.google.com/websites?q=vseposelki.ru

Isn't this just spamming the search engine with meaningless pages on domain/keywords "trends" where most of them have "no data available".

why?
