No.

As much as or seems to be reinventing the wheel, there are many reasons that different drive types have been developed.

(Security, torque limiting, etc.)

Example-

Robertson screw. (Commonly mistaken for the modern square drive)

-Allows for cold stamping the screw head.

-Low installation torque.

-Good retention of screw on tool bit.

-Easy/fast removal.

-Less likely to cam out until reaching installation depth.

(All desirable in fast paced, high volume, cost sensitive construction applications)
