So why does it have "08L" at the west end and "26R" at the east end?


So pilots don't land on the proper runway when it is closed, and
collide with maintenance equipment or other aircraft?


It may not be a very good runway, but it IS a runway, and is shown as such
on pilots' charts.


Of course it is shown on charts, so it can be used in an emergency.

But it remains a taxiway that can be used as a runway *only in
emergencies*. The absence of any form of ILS and the absence of
proper taxiways when the emergency "runway" is in use tell the story.
