Default hose faucet question: hose bibbs versus sillcocks

Why do "hose bibbs" typically have round handles and "sillcocks" all seem to
have a tee handle? (see

I have to replace my garden hose faucet and it's apparent that I need a
sillcock with its male pipe thread. My current (leaking) valve has a round
handle, can the tee handle on a sillcock be replaced with the round handle?
Thanks!
