Is bending hydronic heating pipe common practice?

Single story home on a slab, no basement. Shallow pitched roof. Copper runs up from boiler, across attic and then down through the walls (or outside the walls if that's what the installer felt was easier) to the baseboards. The runs that go up and through the top plates are all heated and bent --as if on a conduit pipe bender except the copper is flattening as if it were a little too tight of a radius.

Never done heat before and never bent copper. Is this acceptable/common practice?
