Physics: a round cover is too big to fall through it's own hole, it's easy to roll away (no lifting) and when replacing it, it goes back without need to line it up.

A round pipe has more strength than a square one, so pipes are round, and so are the covers that go over them.

Pipes are round so the manhole fits better. Most men are round not square.

I would think with a square corners could pop up popping tires, with a circle it is less likely to fall in if loose
