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?

Efficiency. You can heat a smaller area with less energy and keep it at that temp with less energy as well. Picture a tub of water, that water can hold it’s heat better than if the water was spread out into a shallow trough.
