Carbonic acid can dissolve some components of granite.
Yes, granite can erode, albeit very slowly, as it is a very srong, hard rock. All naturally occurring rocks will erode, given time
it can take from around 5 minutes to millions and millions of years

Granite is a type of igneous rock that is composed of very hard minerals, such as quartz and feldspar. These minerals make granite highly resistant to weathering and erosion. Additionally, granite has a coarse grain structure, which makes it more resistant to the physical forces that break down rocks. This combination of hard minerals and a strong structure allows granite to erode at a slower rate compared to other rocks.
Its actually more about the composition of the rock than the shape, the rounded rocks tend to be of a softer material such as sandstone, limestone etc which erode quicker and as such form into rounded shapes were harder rocks such as granite are more resistant to erosion and therefore its the softer materials that erode and leave the sharp edges of granite.
