Slotted screws were invented at a time when screws did not require so much torque to tighten them ,and when tool making was less complex. Now that many other screw drive systems have been invented, ( Philips, Robertson, Torx, Allen, Bristol etc) the slotted screw has gradually become an anachronism.
