Very clear the writer hasn't taken a course on optics:

"Rather than follow the curve of our eyes, the sensors in conventional digital cameras are flat. This results in an unnatural curvature in the image, and so the accompanying lenses have to be made in a way that corrects this distortion."

.... The aberration that curved image sensors helps mitigate is spherical aberration. Not distortion ....

Better, cheaper, and/or smaller lenses if the design is made specifically for the curved sensor.
