Torx is legitimately useful for small screws, because it’s more resistant to stripping than Phillips.
Now, if they start using Torx security bits or some oddball shapes, then they’re just being obnoxious. But there are not-trying-to-obstruct-the-customer reasons not to use Phillips.

IFixit kit is a great toolset from the site that has every type of bit in it.

Got myself an IFixit Mako a while ago, really nice even if I mostly just use the philips head ones

Right? It’s nice to have the occasional reverse tri head metric upside down weird random bit when you need it.

Does it have triangle bits? Nintendo uses some really unusual driver shapes.

I’ve taken apart so so so many things… sometimes for the right reasons and sometimes for the wrong reasons…my ZuneHD still works. I’ll never ever try to open a Surface product.
