While poking around in the registry, I noticed a Netscape Navigator folder at the following:

That folder contained two more folders "Suffixes" and "Viewers"; both referenced application/ppt, /msword, /msexcel, etc.
I've never installed or even used netscape navigator -- why are these there?

I think you have discovered some forgotten historical artifact of Microsoft Office.
I believe that these registry keys belonged to Microsoft Office FrontPage,
a discontinued WYSIWYG HTML editor and website administration tool from
Microsoft, which used Netscape software.
FrontPage was replaced in 2006 by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer,
later also discontinued, but apparently Microsoft Office continues to faithfully
install it to this very day.
I can testify that these keys are still present in Office 2019.
They are to be found in all manual uninstall instructions for Office.
If this worries you, feel free to signal it as a bug via the Windows Feedback Hub.

Very strange that they keep registering these presumably unused keys. If it ain't broke and all that I guess. I was mostly just confused and could find very little information about them (which is odd considering it's been haunting systems for about 13 years).
