The French curve bows the reed as the ligature clamps down. The tip opening gets a tad larger. It is an attempt to make and keep a seal at the base of the window near where the facing starts. Sometimes it can compensate for reed swell in cane.

I think manufactures mostly use it because of variation when making the table. If they target for a flat table and it ends up slightly convex, that is very bad. If they target for concave and they miss the mark, they hope it is still slightly concave instead of convex.

I prefer a flat table and a flat reed. Either use synthetic reeds or keep checking your cane reeds for flatness. Slightly concave can work and does work for a lot of players.
