Why is screw DLC legal? Why are people ok with companies preventing people from working in their own devices?
Tamper proof is to prevent random idiots from messing with your stuff.
Random idiots that don't know hardware stores exist
Once they're determined to fuck with your stuff, they're no longer random. It's just to delay the occasional dingleberry with a multi tool until they get distracted and forget.
"Huh, doesnt fit. Oh well, guess I'll carve some folk art into the shitter door."
Then you can just spackle over the swastikas, but you don't usually have to reassemble the privacy panels.
Every lock can be broken. My step grandfather would use tamper proof screws to board up his lake house for winter. Otherwise you risk some drunk ice fishing fuck breaking into your house.
If someone really wanted to get in, it doesn't really matter what fasteners you use, they would just cut the wood. It just prevents common vandals that happen to have a screwdriver, not determined criminals.
Tamper resistant torx is still a weird niche. Tamper resistant slotted for bathroom stalls makes sense because a person with a coin could disassemble a whole row of stalls without any effort, but if you're carrying around a torx bit, you might as well be carrying around a security bit.
For some reason, Ford decided to use Security Torx to hold together their hybrid battery packs. Couldn't tell you why that was better then regular Torx.
I'd guess that was some sort of safety standard designed to protect vehicle owners from themselves.
As Torx gets more and more common, it's presence is less and less likely to be a serious hurdle, so the security screws are a simple way for them to sort of say to the owner "don't mess with the stuff below this". If they want to, they still can, but it's a specific effort at that point...so Ford can say they've implemented a safety measure. Might even be some sort of government standard too, where using a less common fastener style brings them into compliance without needing some sort of even less accessible design, like a sealed off system.
Who said we are? It's up to Congress to regulate things like that and they don't know shit about fuck. Unless someone "lobbies" them to do it of course.
You can turn a tamper proof screw into a regular screw by using a flat head as a lever and breaking off the center post. Harder to do the bigger the screw is.
