The main property of EM waves is straight line propagation!
Coax can be twisted to any shape and that does not alter much the

Not really.
The coax has a TEM wave, meaning the E field is perpendicular to the
propagation direction and the H field is also perpendicular to the
the propagation. Waveguides without center conductor cannot have
both fields perpendicular, therefore they either are TE or TM.
Electrically short open-ended coax line segments do not propagate EM waves.
Or else they no longer considered as short!
