Torx is the only head that needs to exist. The rest can go fuck a rusty chainsaw.

Square is really good too.

Phillips and flat head bits fit in a variety of sizes of screw heads. We seem to have chosen convenience over performance.

If memory serves me correctly square drive is patented, & thus requires licensing, which is why it's less commonly used.
