OK, so Wikipedia says it's for production lines. Ban it from DIY shops now!

Henry F. Phillips (1890 – 1958) was a U.S. businessman from Portland, Oregon, and inventor of the Phillips-head screw and screwdriver. His inventions built on an earlier concept credited to the inventor J. P. Thompson.

I am not sure but I think it was the Phillips tool company that designed and the manufactured it as a better, more positive way of turning the screw (like the posidrive but different company)
and I hate him too

There are different angles on cross head screws and you must use the right head. I like them as if you magnetise your Phillips screw driver you can hold the screws with the head - it is more difficult to do this with slothead screws. Also they are better for electric screw drivers

I'm with you. The only reason I have lived so long is that I refuse to die until I find the SOB and string him up by the thumbs or other tender parts of his anatomy.
