Well this was fundamentally one of the issues with ms office when they went to the ribbon. see: https://www.jegsworks.com/lessons/numbers-2/intro/ribbon-off...

No one could figure out how to print because it turns out that round thing in the upper left was basically the old file menu, but since it didn't look like anything else on the screen people were really confused, so much so, that as you see from the link above they just moved it to the tabbar/ribbon in the next version of office.

So, its doubtful it has anything to do with how round something is, and more to do with the drop shadowing and whether people expect a button in that location, and whether it looks like one.

thanks for the extra info - I do feel that location is also a big issues for the problem I ran into - I am apt to agree that location, size, even gradients as another mentioned; basically all the things button-ey make / made a different..

so I can see how if all the other factors were aligned, that roundness would not be an issue - so you are right - but given that the other things were out of whack in the wyze screen issue - non-roundness vs roundness would of made a difference for sure.. but yeah, if the location was better and the sizing a bit better - I can see how roundness would not matter / make much of any difference.
