Samsung is still making those.

I got one, it's nice. The only real issue is Samsung's incompetence at making an OS that's worth a damn.

I understand curved monitors when youre always sat in the middle. But tvs, what happens when you watch with friends and family and the people have to watch from the sides?

As shallow as the curve actually is, you're not much worse off than crowding around a flat TV.
Also, a sixty-inch monitor isn't really the norm - or you're awesome if it is.

Than what's the benefit of a curved TV in the first place?

When you find that sweet spot at the focal point of the parabola.

Other than that, it's mostly just a gimmick.

Not true at all. LG doesn't make one anymore. Sony never really did. Samsung makes exactly one right now and it's a garbage low end 7000 series. Any curved TVs you still see are old models. 2016 or so was the last time you saw flagship curved TVs

You don't even begin to comprehend how awesome it is to carry a big screened smartphone at half its size.
