It's not that new... I got a few boxes of those things
with the "Deck Master" kit I bought back in 2001.

They require a special and very hard to find bit...

For the life of me, I can't imagine the "why" on this
design.

The why is easy. Phillips screws require a lot more inward pressure to
prevent cam out and the Robertson screw square head tends to snap off bits.

The screws were designed to keep the production level up. If the ability to
do the job is as good as they claim, then the market will dictate that the
design survives.

The price of the bits or the drivers is cheaper if you consider how fast one
scraps Phillips bits.
