Those asking for 3" or 3.5" are using them for framing, and anyone who has done any code compliant framing knows that all the screws will eventually snap inside the wood as the structure experiences movement over time. These are for decking so 2.5" is more than long enough. I do understand that using screws to build "temporary" framing is practical and i do consider that resonable depending on how temporary. So many DIY tiny house builders use construction screws for wall framing, that's totally not ok. Half of the screws will have failed after a year. Especially if it was ever moved on a highway.
That's some deep decking
pocket holes rely on the head of the screw to apply pressure in the hole. Bugle/countersink screws will spread the wood and not be great at giving support in the thin amount of wood remaining in a pocket hole.

Quote from Dr. J :
Screw might be easier for framing (for the average person) but they are not designed for it as you said - nails are ductile, ready for shear, and screws just break, that's why they aren't used in framing even in 2022, not to mention they're more expensive (duh they are harder to manufacture) and take more time to install.

The above said, I'd consider these one step above drywall screws, and the star drive is also an improvement especially if you ever think you'll need to remove them, or driving them might be tough (phillips is designed to cam out which will destroy the screw)
I'll agree and disagree. Yes, nails are stronger in shear. They also can allow for movement, reducing stress on the fastener. Both make nails better for framing.
Unless there is something very odd going on, you will not have half of your screws snap in one year. In fact, I would expect no screws to snap in a year, and few to ever snap. Framing with screws is the lazy way out for those of us who don't have framing nailers. I have done it a ton and never had a snapped screw other than when I snap one while driving the screw.
Screwed frames would have one advantage on the highway. They will be more ridged because the fastened joints are tighter and less able to move. Vibration is less likely to knock a screwed structure out of square and lose structural integrity. Obviously screwed frames are much more likely to snap from vibrating, though.
FYI, I'm no framing expert but do have a civil engineering degree.

Quote from xmaster1736 :
What's the recommendation for using these to build furniture, compared to the multipurpose screws you can get at the stores ?
For outdoor furniture, definitely. For furniture with any kind pressure treated lumber (again, usually outdoors), definitely.

For traditional glued/screwed indoor furniture projects, these will work as well or better than most screws, but it's overkill. The Fas-n-tite box of wood screws sold in-store at Walmart are a bargain ($14 for a 465 piece assorted length box). Plain yellow zinc plated, drive easily. A lot of people will use drywall screws for indoor furniture. Those work well, too.

These screws are not good in general. Coating fails to quick and as stated above they have no specification on tensile strength or shear strength for load bearing framing.

Only screws I would use are specifically tested for framing and have code compliant rating.

For decking use Camo Screws
For framing use a Simpson framing screw
