Er. Because it's easier for the developer than using all the escapes? That particular example is fairly simple, but if you're coding something that eventually evaluates / renders to a load of html / urls, then you could see where that would be useful. But the advantage of curly braces in formula extends beyond web coding.
Perhaps you might want to comment out a load of formula quickly and easily?
Sorry if I've missed what you're getting at, but it strikes me that this is a useful feature in formula... OK, so Notes may eventually simplify / revert it for its own use, as you highlight in your example, but the reasoning behind having it is still sound.
