I suspect that the sensor has the same dimensions, roughly, as the phone itself. Putting in a square one would probably cost more. Not saying that either way is right, just that that’s probably the reason.

Lenses are circular, so the most cost effective would be a square sensor and square picture. I don't actually know what modern sensors are though.

Most phone camera sensors (and most camera sensors in general) are 4:3.
