Why build an unstable tower? What are the advantages of this design?

In addition to the insulate-from-ground comments, it's possible they
used that design to lessen the risk of damage from earthquake and wind-
loading. The guy wires are more flexible and can give a bit more than
having the antenna anchored to the ground with steel sunk into concrete.
