Early on, somebody creative came up with the idea that if you have a spinning ring on a space station, that would kind of simulate having gravity, and the further idea that could let you mount a set so that you could film "space station" scenes by just rotating the set while keeping the camera and actors on whatever was the real "floor" led to a very influential early film. The idea that rings and discs are convenient long outlived the need to handwave to audiences that all the gravity, air, and so on they see on space stations was backed by science. That said, even in zero gravity you still could need to do center-of-mass calculations for engineering purposes and rings and discs greatly simplify that; I think as long as we aren't making modular "building blocks" to assemble new space stations out of circles aren't going out of style either in real life or fiction.
Just a side note. There actually is a reason that you see a lot of circles in the space stations. You can create an artificial gravity inside with rotational forces

21:20 its a grenade launcher.
Also Novakeiser lost that bet Klee set it atleast to 11 seconds or more since we hear another beep before that.

I never thought about it that way but that does make a lot of sense. I have now learned a thing! :D
lore accurate beidou😁
