I really don't understand what you're asking about. The overwhelming majority of spokes are round, with a select few being flattened, AKA "bladed" or aero.

If you're asking why they form a triangular pattern, well that's geometry for you. A triangle is a very natural shape to end up with when you start connecting things with straight lines.
