Maybe it's a regional thing? Here in the midwest US the hardware stores carry them and Phillips, in about 50:50 proportion -- At least for construction screws (decking screws for example) this is true. Most of the contractors I know locally prefer them as well.

I've seen them too, but only as construction screws. I've never seen a square drive sheet metal or machine screw in the US, for instance.
