I think it was you could use it a library more easily. Curl is MIT licensed, so less to worry about if integrating in your code base. I also think it was designed as a library from the beginning, while wget was intended solely as a command line utility. Wget is also GPL licensed, so does not mix super well with proprietary programs or if you just don't want to "taint" your codebase with GPL for other reasons.
