Square corners seems likely to be less space efficient, which is one consideration of pcb design. Why we don't use round corners or fluid traces might be a better question.

Round corners are nice but the radius is constantly increasing so they do not stack as well as 45 degree corners. This is especially difficult when you have to move a group of signals together during design!
