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.

It would be more economical in terms of using less barbed wire, but less efficient at keeping people in or out of the fenced area. If you’re going to spend 100 on straight barbed wire to protect an asset but it’s easy to climb over, then it would be worth spending 500 for loopy barbed wire to make sure the asset was significantly harder to get to.
Straight barbed wire acts more as a deterrent from climbing over, whereas looped wire is more of a guarantee it won’t be climbed over.
