i'm an apartment maintenance technician. i repair a lot of things, which requires a lot of different types of bits. star/torx(usually appliances), philips(most screws), flat head (outlet plates), and 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers (self tapping screws, appliances, other random stuff)
1. having the small 1" bits and an adapter takes less space than the same number of 2"/3" bits
2. the (milwaukee) adapter is magnetic and will hold your screw
3. swapping out 1" bits is easier and faster than using the chuck
4. 1" bits are cheaper / in higher numbers for replacement when stripped
5. more things i can't think of
however there are some advantages to the longer bits:
1. fits into narrower spaces
2. less play between components
3. won't fall out like less magnetic bit adapters

20 of the 50 pieces is just Phillips 2 bits... Not useful for a home workshop. Maybe more useful for a professional.
That highly depends on what one does in their home workshop. #2 Phillips are usually the most used, worn out, broken, and lost bits...so having plenty of spares may not be a bad idea. If you're the type of person that goes through 1 or 2 a year, this could be a lifetime supply. But if you use 1 or 2 a week, these'll only last a few months.
