Why? Those slotted screws are a pain. It may be a case of right place,
right time, but I'm not surprised Phillips displaced slotted. Using them
is MUCH easier. Also, Phillips has the unfortunate ability of being
compatible with some slotted screwdrivers, so you wouldn't necessarily have
to buy a new screwdriver to use the new screws.

Because people are stubborn. Note that many Phillips screws have
slots, as well.
