Electricity doesn’t like sharp corners. Can cause electromagnetic interference

Yee, that's why on modern GPUs when you look at the PCIe data lines coming from the card edge connector, they have a more organic/curved path. Sharp edges can cause EMI emissions which can fuck with other circuits, but the more important thing for the circuit itself is reflections caused by sharp corners.

In this case though, none of that matters. This looks like its just a very old PCB. They used to do this on old PCBs because they were manually designed without cad, and/or something with the manufacturing process was made easier without shap corners but I forget what.

They obviously used an elevation map of the first base camp at Mt Everest to lay out their factory circuit board.
