I believe it is to do with the acoustic problems associated with the sharp bend. I don't know the details.

Imagine travelling down the bore of the sax. The cross-sectional area gets GRADUALLY greater until you reach the bend. Then SUDDENLY, at the bend, it effectively becomes almost twice as much, unless you turned to go around the bend.
