Why were downpipes on a house rectangular and metal back in the day compared to the circular PVC pipe we use today?

The rectangular shape just doesn’t make sense, the water wouldn’t have flowed as well compared to the circular PVC we use and why were they metal? It’s rigid hard to move, not particularly aesthetic and if you want to cut it it’s quite a chore.

How “back in the day” are we talking? Anyways it was probably due to lack of PVC supplies or budget cuts making the house cheaper (im no expert)
