Was that a freudian misspelling? ;-)

Of course not. When you make a model out of cardboard/paper, the edges
are always folded to fit to adjoining surfaces. If you take a piece of
paper and fold the edges, it will be flat and with stright edges.
Pepakura has to stick to that, otherwise it would not create a valid
model, that can actually be constructed with paper/cardboard.
For paper models, your object have to have very few polygons.
