The angled version is used primarily for lower kicks. It is faster, and can slip between the guard and the ribs at times when a kick coming in parallel to the ground will only hit their guard.
Are you referring to the kick I'm questioning, which appears to have point of contact with the toes? I have never seen an approved turning kick which goes straight up in the air like a front kick.
