What is wrong with interchangable bits?

Is it still possible buy a proper ratchet screwdriver that doesn't have
interchangeable tips and a handle that rips skin after the third screw?
I don't want a powered tool either. I can see some antiques on eBay but
nothing new even from a junk maker like Draper.
They fall out and get lost and you can never get the same turning force on
them. When the right antique turns up on eBay, I will buy it. It is much
easier to work on old things, like houses and furniture, with the tools that
made them in the first place (accepting that ratchets are only 75 years
old).
