What exactly is ffmpeg's one thing?

Or curl's for that matter?

Curl's "one thing" is to get files from the network in every conceivable way possible. Ffmpeg's is to convert media files between every conceivable set of formats possible.

Curl does loads of stuff, supports so many protocols - HTTP, LDAP, FTP etc.
