Segmented addresses?

Someone at Intel or Microsoft must have been sucking some IBM ***
to make that happen.

Maybe they were hanging around with the folks in their Data Processing
division and read a Univac 1100 manual, which has a very similar
segmentation system. Intel was a big Univac user at that time, and even
had a software division that sold some database software they had written.
The Semi companies were a lot closer to the big iron DP manufacturers in
those days. National even had a division that made clones of IBM 370
mainframes.

Microsoft was a half a dozen guys eating Pizza in Albuquerque, and
IBM was in full "we invent everything we need" mode back when the 8086
was cooked up.
