Not relevant and not simply picking apart your example but I’ve been nerd sniped:

Wheels are not trivial in a biological sense. Topologically most life is either a tube or a cup depending on digestive systems. Wheels are separated from the body, which would be difficult for base cell division to produce.

Some animals like the pangolin are round shaped and do roll, but it just seems non optimal.

I’d say it’s curious nature hasn’t produced more creates that like making wheels like the dung beetle does, but nature made us and we do like making wheels.
