They were supposed to limit torque when assembling aluminum aircraft. But i’ve set thousands of Phillips screws of all kinds and sizes with many makes of Phillips bits in a portable drill. Most of the screws at Loews and HD have Phillips heads. I’ve never had problems like I have with these.
I don’t mind them popping out at a torque that will actually drive the screw in. I have had many, many Phillips head drivers that would drive a 2” #8 deck screw into pressure treated #2 pine far enough to bury the head. I’ve given up on using these Milwaukee bits for anything that big. They just strip out the heads.
