It is the only shape cover which cannot accidentally fall through its hole.
***DING, DING, DING*** You got it Steve. Believe it or not, a lot of people have never thought about this, don't know why, or could care less. <grins> (Useless trivia?)
and I don't know but would expect that in the beginning, no one much thought about it either until someone tried to come up with a better design and found one benefit of the old design. The 'round' to start with may have been because its purpose was to cap a pipe? not a box

Ya can't throw a feather, ya can't bend a potato chip, and if you've got a big enough hammer, you can bust anything. You could PROBABLY even drive a JPEG into a square hhole - or even a manhole cover ??
