Why? Not all platforms use square icons (I seem to recall that iPhone icons are something like 57x60, for example). We have the sizes="" attribute for control over this, so that all platforms can be handled.

It's easier to convert a square to an almost square rectangle (eg 57x60) than to convert a rectangular logo to a square. Giving users the ability to advertise both should ultimately result in a higher quality and better fit for purpose.
