Because round can prevent the cover from dropping into the hole. If it is square, for example, then you can drop the cover into the hole. The diagonal of square is longer than each edge.

Because the hole is circular? ;-)

This was(they stopped asking) a classic Microsoft interview question. Amusingly, at some places in the Microsoft campus in Redmond, they have square manhole covers!

Not always circular is the only easily supportable statement!

Mostly/always/usually is just talking without any data.
