  1. They're not a great design
  2. Screws are made as cheaply as possible
  3. People assume their drivers last forever. Just a tiny bit of tip damage and they're grind up any screws.
  4. Philips in impact drivers is a sin.

edit: 5. There are different Philips sizes; any Philips will fit in any equal or larger plus-sized hole, but barely engage and both strip the screw and the driver.

    No doubt, but in my own amateurish experience, the only way I can deal with PH is by using a power tool at very low speed while also applying pressure on the screw to prevent slippage (ideally one that also lets you set the torque).
