I think Phillips would looks weird on an outlet cover plate, and the aesthetics of a flathead look the best. But for sure everywhere else it’s the worst screw head type
I think Phillips would look fine, especially if it’s painted like those screws always are. And there are still other solutions, for example square drive (the bits are rare, but would be easy enough to just sell next to the plates if it became popular)
And a kid can easly open it with whatever they have around!
No seriously, it never happened to anyone i know, but i am sure some kid, somewhere opened it using some random shit they found around and made a disaster
Flathead gang for life phillips can kick sand
You found one that is objectively worse than Phillips. (Because it’s just the worst, period.)
The only one worse than Phillips, even.
OTH, you can make a flathead screw with a rod, a hammer, and a hacksaw.
At that point, make a second groove for a cross head and saw the tip off a Philips driver. That way, it doesn’t cam out easily or slide out the side.
How are they worse? I’ve so rarely dealt with them that idk
The screwdriver slips out of the side of the screw as you turn it. They can be extremely frustrating.

If i never see another flathead screw for the rest of my life ill die a happy sparky
Yea what’s with flatheads being the default finish screw on panel covers?
I don’t know what monster decided that but it makes all electrical outlet work 5x more frustrating!
Cheap, easy to clean, only gets opened like once every ten years, cheap and takes paint well.
Also cheap

I think you forgot to mention that it’s cheap
Nah, they never mentioned how cheap it was, someone would have noticed
