In the UK construction industry the pozidrive has long been the most used, followed by some special purpose designs using torx. Sometimes kitchens would come with the same crappy phillips screws as flatpack furniture. However belt feed drywall screws were always phillips. In fact most drywall screws were. It always infuriated me if you wanted to put some extras in with a drill (or take some out) that you had to go searching for a PH2. I wondered if there was some special reason for it persisting with drywall screws, especially when screwing drywall is relative new to the UK, with most being nailed up until maybe 15 years ago? Auto feed drywall guns cam out like crazy... Now I also wonder why we would always call the drywall "plasterboard" yet call the screws for it "drywall screws"!
