Interesting question. From the perspective of operating a small and
unknown-to-the-wider-world Root CA myself, I would never allow a third
party to use an Intermediary CA of mine to sign certificates. I could
not control how, when and for whom this third party hands out certs --
and all of those would be chain-signed with my Root CA. Not going to
happen here.

I would be surprised if some Organisation XYZ, which went through the
significant effort and cost of establishing a well-known and respected
Root CA, handed out intermediate CAs to others.
