You don't need to. They probably mean how rounded objects tend roll or slide, and spiky objects tend to scrape at most or dig into a crevice and so abruptly stop with a shorter sound.

Young kids follow our same expectations with kiki and bouba. They haven't seen wave traces.

No, but the person proposing "it might be due to the sounds that objects of those shapes make" has.
