It uses fewer bricks
It's not about cosmetics, it's just cheaper
While originally designed for efficiency, it can be both.
Of note: Only applicable if you compare single brick thickness serpentine wall to a standard wall that uses double thickness (and therefore double the bricks)

That seems really dangerous next to a road. Any car that wanders off will have a hard collision against those folds instead of glancing off a flat wall.
The wall is older than the existence of cars.

You are really overestimating the strength of an old single row brick wall, in relation to a car. The trees behind the wall are much more dangerous...
fuck that car then.
