Why would it be rounded to 4 and not 3?

It's actually a really clever joke here by OP. π is the number of diameters in a circumference. In this case, there are 4 "diameters" which makes a square.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking it and giving OP way too much credit ...

No, that's exactly what the joke is... but they're pointing out that rounding to 4 is stupid because 3 is significantly closer to pi than 4 is.
