i thought the whole purpose of the square cut ring was to aid in piston retraction to reduce drag



That's what we were told in automotive school. The square ring deflects when the piston is applied and then when pressure is released, the square ring returns to it's normal shape pulling the piston back when it does. I can't see how a round ring would work better but let us know how it works out.
