Isn't it neat........?

Yes it is neat. But like you said, it's just a coincidence. Actually, the Earth is slowly migrating outward from the Sun. At some point in the past, the Moon looked smaller than the Sun, and in the future it will look larger. But right now they're exactly the same apparent size, 33 arc-minutes in diameter.
