In simple terms it needs to be pressed into shape rather than forced, otherwise the water will not be able to pass through the coffee. There's lots of debate about portafilter size and shape, and while some assume that the larger 58mm portafilter size is better because this is what most professional machines use, this isn't necessarily because it's the best, it's more about standardization. So this is what your finger and thumb will mainly come into contact with when tamping, instead of the metal base, which I hazard a guess would be quite a nice comfortable tamp.
A lot of domestic espresso machines come with these flat bottomed scoops which supposedly double as tampers, and these are about as useful as something really not all that useful.

The tamping pressure should be around 25 pounds/12kg of force (this is the standard force but is pretty random as not many people have any perception of quantifying their downward force).This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location.
