Why are most all jigsaw puzzle pieces basically the same square shape?

Searching history, like the first ones were maps and the shapes of contents with others being tangrams.

Not seeing how they got the standard square shape with 4 sides. A hexagon shape for example would be just as efficient as square.

Had a very small handful of puzzles that weren’t your standard square, so not saying they don’t exist. Some were cut in shapes matching the puzzle pic, eg. shape of a spider. Those seem very far and few in-between tho. Much harder tho.

Only the cheap dollar store ones. Look up some high quality jigsaw puzzles and you’ll find all kinds of interesting shapes and tessellations.
