When you look at a Robertson, or a JIS or even a Phillips you just use a JIS or Robertson and you’re fine.
If it is posidriv, you must use posidriv and you can’t use posidriv with a conventional Robertson/Phillips/JIS. The only way you can tell the difference is by a teeny-tiny little dot on the screwhead or some extra minuscule fins on the driver. If you do t have your glasses, or aren’t aware, you will damage the screw and your driver.
Hex and Torx are OK for certain things where you don’t want an ignorant pleb to gain access. Security Hex and Security Torx are OK where you don’t want an ignorant pleb in denial of their ignorance to gain access.
All those other drivers, Triwing, Pentalobe, variants of Posidriv are just there to push proprietary applications and should not be used by anyone.
Oh my god don’t get me started on pozidriv. Not only is it actually really spelled like that, it was literally fucking designed to limit the amount of torque applied to the screw. Fuck my life. Whoever decided to put that fucking hateful abomination on a 4 inch self tapping wood screw needs their fucking head examined and no mistake oh my god. Fuck.

Other way around - Phillips were designed to torque out. Pozidriv are much better for high torque applications
Phillips were designed to torque out
That's a myth/misconception too. Phillips is not intentionally bad
Yeah, it's just regular bad. And since its invention people have unfortunately turned this bug into a "feature".
Are you saying you use a Phillips screwdriver on Robertson screws on you savage?
No one should ever have a Phillips screw driver, unless it is actually a JIS or Robertson.
Robertson is a square, you're thinking about pozidrive
If it is posidriv, you must use posidriv and you can’t use posidriv with a conventional Robertson/Phillips/JIS.
Uh...you can use pozidriv or Robertson tools on pozidriv fasteners without issue... I think it's the only standard that has cross-compatibility with another standard like that.
Posidriv can bugger off too.
