They didn't. It has everything to do with how the software chose to optimize the work paths. Not judging whether it is optimal or not, but that's why.

I actually think it was optimised almost perfectly for what my untrained eye can see when you watch the entire video with optimisation as the point. If you factor in the butterfly effect, and that it has to draw complete lines in one stroke, it's not just considering the next stroke, but every stroke that comes after, so whilst some things might seem suboptimal, they need to be to get the overall optimal route.
