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.

Tight barbed wire is easier to place your hands and feet to climb over

Loose barbed wire will shift as you try to move by it and catch. And will have enough spring to it to catch and pull
