Why? Given the quantity and row planting, they're not decorative. So they're either in a nursery being grown for sale or they're being grown so they can be harvested in some way. In either case, it's not obvious why they need to be spherical.

Just as the Japanese like the idea of square tomatoes, and the EU insists on straight bananas and cucumbers, there are some cultures that like shaped bushes. This shaping of bushes is called "topiary". There is a Dutch company that makes similar machines to cut globes, and they also make machines that cut cones, cylinders and pyramids. They are manufactured as nursery equipment, and what is often forgotten is that when you get these bushes home you will need to trim them by hand, forever after.

Here's the cutting mechanism up-close, although I believe this machine may be from a different company:
