The temperature difference is significant; without expansion joints, expansion bends (U-bends) need to be installed
It is mainly to facilitate valve operation, as well as to increase the flexibility of the pipes and reduce stress at the equipment connections.
Thermal expansion of pipes. Pipeline compensation.

Thermal expansion and contraction – used for pipe compensation
I think what 4# said makes sense; the valve is easy to operate
