Default phillips round head wood screws?

There's probably a simple answer to this, but here goes. Why can't I
find Phillips-head versions of round head wood screws at the local
hardware store or at Home Depot? There are times I could use them,
but have to go with a slotted head instead. Or try a sheet metal
screw, which does come as a Phillips round-head.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Probably just not very popular compared to other types. McFeelys is still
best for that type of screw
