I will probably be banned from this forum for asking such a stupid question
However, by having a rectangular sensor (3:2; 4:3; 1:1) the camera manufacturer imposes a crop of the round image produced by the lens on the photographer instead of letting him or her choose. I can see why film was rectangular, but why a digital sensor. The only reason that comes to my mind is costs--and that may already be sufficient.
