My guess is that we are very early in this on-going effort. And squares are easier to design around for several reasons. First, the point to measure from for an adjoining part is more obvious. And also, given this is being done on hobbyist 3D-Printers, squares (and flat surfaces) are going to adhere better to the print bed.

In time... That will change.
