In this instance it's just mimicry. They borrowed the crest from Galeazzo Maria Sforza as it appeared at Castello Sforzesco, He was a cruel and evil man
Sure - but I think the interesting decision was made way back when it was first created - the subsequent uses were all just because it was the Seal of the City of Milan. Alfa is based there as of course is Inter. Also in the heraldry history there is some conjecture over whether the grass snake is eating or giving birth to the human.

Also - the biscione is the Symbol of Milan (even Inter used to use it)
Could be but then I would say interesting choice for a logo as it says a lot about the person who chose it.
