Why is razor wire installed in loops on top of a fence?

Wouldn’t it be more economical to install it in straight lines? I am sure there is a good reason but searching for it turns up nothing.

They also make it in straight lines, at least for barbed wire, [like this.](https://www.358meshfence.com/img/barbed-wires-chain-link-fence.jpg) Probably a little less secure than loops, but probably cheaper.
