Guillotines chop heads. If you look at the guillotine blade, it is angled, with one side of the blade much higher than the other end. I would think the guillotine blade would be shaped more rectangular.

The same reason scissors are: They shall cut, not chop like a butcher does with his axe. A Guillotine blade is cutting through a neck starting from aside. Skin is chewy and flexible and therefore has to be cut, not chopped. The spine is hard and has to be dismembered with force and the blade must have enough speed for that. To cut through he remaining parts, throat and venes is easy.
