Default Why use lower anvils with 'flats'?

Recent inquiries regarding the use of full radius vs anvils with 'flats' on them, has left me wanting to know why the anvils with 'flats' are used in the first place. When viewing from the end position, it would seem that the anvils with flats are more likely to leave tracks than the full radius anvils used with judicial pressure. I am just curious. What are the flat anvils used for and who got that started?

I realize this might get heated, but I am only seeking useable information.
