Answer #1

Because it prevents corners from snagging on wheels or people’s shoes and causing nasty accidents

Answer #2

Well the disk shaped ones are, but the rectangular and square ones aren’t.

Answer #3

I guess historically, the round ones were designed so that they could be rolled for easier manoeuvrability.
