Notes -
If user wants circle, they can replace corners of their userpic with white/gray/whatever. This is always available. But users wishing for square are denied choice by designers. Sometimes website forcefully changes existing square userpic to circle, and the pictures were never framed for circle.
Human faces are more oval than round. Ovals were pretty popular in 19th century (also, it saves expensive silver in mirrors and pictures). I remember oval photos of my classmates in pre-internet time. Handsome male faces look more like rectangle than oval gigachad.jpg
even if it, what is the problem here? Why showing Adam's apple is good but shoulders are a no-no?
AFAIK none of smartphones/cameras have circular frames for shooting pictures for a circular userpic.
