Because it doesn't cam out nearly as badly as the Phillips.

It isn't that easy to tell one from the other
and when you use the wrong bit on the wrong screw head it is REALLY
annoying. As far as I'm concerend, posi head screws can be consigned
to the same pit as Betamax and 8 tracks.

Well, Betamax was superior to VHS in image quality, just as Posi is
better than Phillips for actually turning a screw. Popularity and
quality have a relationship that is coincidental at best.
