But developers can choose to have their windows square.

Do developers choose to have it square, or do they choose to purposefully ignore microsofts design guidelines and use custom code to draw the window border differently than the standard way, and now that everything isn't square it looks out of place?

There is a windows API function you can call for your window that makes it square. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/nf-dwmapi-dwmsetwindowattribute
