Don't forget that they're also designed to be drilled into a metal stud.
Perhaps they are as hard as they are to be able to drill through the steel

Might be, except I think drywall screws pre-date metal studs by quite a few
years.

And it has never bothered fastener manufacturers to put out an extra product or
two to cover things like metal studs. The confusion factor is not theirs, it's
ours.
