Cheaper and faster for robots and slave labor to assemble products with torx.

Doesn't readily strip like phillips or robertson.

The screws don't, but the drivers wear out quickly.

oof, that's probably even worse than philips then since you don't typically screw in a screw a lot

These things shouldn't be on components that should have any reason to over-tighten. You see them on precision things like electronics, locks, and machinery.

If you want to over-tighten something just use an Alan Wrench hex screw and consider it a permanent bond.

That's some chinesium right there
