DCs constantly update themselve into DNS. If nothing changes after the
registration session, then the SOA # stays the same, If something did
change, the SOA# would have been bumped up one digit for each change. Since
the IP hasn't changed, then nothing changed and the SOA remains the same,
but it still will write the 'change' the zone file.

I thought you were using Ad Integrated zones? It's a DC, so then, why not?
