hmmm hate to burst and culinary bubbles.. but I don’t believe they do keep their shape. Chocolate chips are shaped like little candy kisses out of the bag (mostly), but they no longer have that shape in the cookie. Now they do stay relatively round after baking, but I’m sure that has to do with the fact that the cookie dough itself is more viscus than the chocolate, and inhibits osmosis - make sense?

Because the individual chocolate chips are separated by the rest of the cookie. There is no way for them to combine into a single blob like that.

I think they do. All liquids (including melted chocolate) forms a drop because of surface tension. Because the dough surrounds the chocolate, the chocolate will do its best to form a ‘drop’, but it will be restricted by the more viscus dough.
