You forget Jim that the raindrops are falling! If you suspended one (somehow) then sure - it would bulge at the bottom, but natural raindrops are perfectly round.
In earlier times, ammunition makers used this to good effect to make lead shot. They dropped molten lead from a height in a 'shot tower&= #39; and by the time they solidified (before reaching the bottom) they were nicely 'balled'.
