Default why is a flooring brad the shape it is?

It's idle curiosity really:

I've been pulling up a few floorboards recently from a Victorian house
and it set me wondering: why are flooring brads the shape they are?

In particular, why to they have that little bit sticking one side
only? Is there some trick of the trade that uses it?
