Why do the counterterms in renormalized $\phi^4$-theory with power two in fields give vertices and not propagators?

Consider $\phi^4$ theory: $$ \mathcal L=\frac12 Z_1(\partial\phi)^2-\frac12 Z_m m^2\phi^2-\frac{1}{4!}\lambda_0\phi^4 $$

There are two approaches to perturbation theory:

First

The propagator is given by $$ \Delta=\frac{1}{Z_1p^2-Z_m m^2} $$ and there is one type of vertex, with value $$ -i\lambda_0 $$

Second

The propagator is given by $$ \Delta=\frac{1}{p^2-m^2} $$ and there are two types of vertices, with value $$ -i((Z_1-1)p^2-(Z_m-1)m^2),\qquad -i\lambda_0 $$

The two approaches are completely equivalent, and they give rise to the exact same expression for a given scattering process.

Note that the coefficients $Z_1,Z_m$ depend on the expansion parameter $\lambda$. This means that the first approach is more cumbersome because it is in general not clear which diagrams contribute to a given order in perturbation theory, inasmuch as both the vertices and the propagators contain powers of $\lambda$. On the other hand, the second approach leads to more diagrams (because there is one more vertex) but it is more convenient (because the propagators are independent of $\lambda$).


I want to add to AccidentalFourierTransform's answer:

Assuming the $\delta$'s are small, then we can expand the renormalized term in powers of $(\delta_2p^2-\delta_m)$: $$\frac{i}{Z_2p^2-Z_mm^2}=\frac{i}{p^2-m^2 }\left(1+\frac{\delta_2p^2-\delta_m}{p^2-m^2}\right)^{-1}=\frac{i}{p^2-m^2 }\left(1-\frac{\delta_2p^2-\delta_m}{p^2-m^2}+\dots\right)=\frac{i}{p^2-m^2 }+\frac{i}{p^2-m^2 }\left(i\delta_2p^2-i\delta_m\right)\frac{i}{p^2-m^2 }+\dots$$

Which is the sum of all the diagrams consisting of the original term + the counter-term, so by identifying $\frac{i}{p^2-m^2}$ as the momentum term, we identify $i(\delta_2p^2-\delta_m)$ as the momentum counter-term.
