    Fun fact: There are plenty of times a screw that looks like a Philips head is also compatible with a square drive. I’ve mostly seen this on electrical outlets and Ikea furniture.

    I don’t know why Robertson/square drives aren’t more common. They’re stable and they resist stripping and rounding.
