Because of gravity.

Space has no gravity or friction
Everything with mass has gravity.

Doesnt make them round.
Given that gravity attracts equally in all directions, it tends to make things collect uniformly around the centre of mass.
I assume you’re going somewhere with these obtuse answers… let’s see how this plays out.

Obtuse answer?
It's a genuine question, especially after recent discoveries.
But since you feel asking genuine questions is being obtuse, I won't bother any more.
Enjoy your attitude.
Your question was entirely answered because of gravity to which you gave a strange reply about friction and some weird notion of a lack of gravity in space. You were being obtuse.

There's a mountain in South America, the top of which is further from the earth's centre than Everest's.
