Why do heating and cooling systems use coils/curves?

I just saw a photo of a floor heating system, and there aren’t many “straight” heating parts, it’s all curved. Why?

In addition to what the others here have said, coils also offer the ability to expand and contract due to temperature change without cracking or buckling. Because they’e already bent into a coil, they have an easy path of expansion in every direction.
