Because it was made to play arco and pizzicato-just like the other instruments in the violin family.

why do people play double bass w/ a bow. i think it sounds way better (and is easier to play) with standard plucking.

I don't think it does, no. I think it's for decoration.

does the humpness of the back affect the sound or anything?

It depends on the design. The basses with the sort of hump on the back has a "Swell" back. My bass is a flat back, built in Dresden in 1896.
