    it was literally fucking designed to limit the amount of torque applied to the screw.

    Other way around - Phillips were designed to torque out. Pozidriv are much better for high torque applications

      Phillips were designed to torque out

      That’s a myth/misconception too. Phillips is not intentionally bad

        Yeah, it’s just regular bad. And since its invention people have unfortunately turned this bug into a “feature”.
