It’s due to centrifugal forces with earth as the rotating frame of reference. During island formation there is more centrifugal force at the equator which smooths the edges of an island. At the poles the centrifugal forces is less.

Think of it like making a pizza out of dough. The faster the dough spins the smoother the edges.

I have put it in my favourites bar in Safari.
