When I played with it Lego was, mostly, little rectangular bricks. There were some minifigs, there were some trees. There were probably a lot of other non-rectangular bricks available but we didn't have them.
Now Lego has a huge range of non-rectangular bricks.
You can still buy basic bricks. Here are two links:
well yes, but they pieces aren't just bricks now. They have all sorts of special shape pieces, not to mention the Lego character accessories like flippers, swords, mugs etc etc.
Everything pictured on that page can be connected to something else in one way or another. The lifejackets you put on by taking the dude's head off then on again. The "dragons" are missing the top part of their heads.

But they still would mostly have the "universal snapping mount"?[1] I also had the feeling this wasn't legos, since that mount doens't appear.
(Ok, maybe not swords which go in minifigures hands.)

Yes, this is Lego, actual genuine Lego. They come in a wide array of shapes.
Not entirely sure why you think this matters?
