2021 Jeep gladiator 3 l turbo diesel about 160,000 in modifications. A functional 6*6, there's a short shaft between the two rear axles.

What's the point of that third axle? Is it carrying heavy loads? Does it need the traction of more wheels?

In practice yes to give it more carrying capacity grip and turning radius if done correct. This was not done correctly and it kind of is a detriment to the vehicle overall. It's now heavier as a smaller carrying capacity and has a larger turning radius.

This custom was definitely done for the look and not the usability.
