Untrue. Many deck and large screws use torx, specifically T25. They are far less likely to strip.
Tell me you don't build things without telling me
Definitely not for bikes mainly. Many other things use torx. But agree about having a variety pack

It's a very specific set of bits. Unless you work on bikes, I can't see a very serious need for these.

I would have preferred if there was a 'variety pack' with a size range.

Ah, that makes sense. But most boxes of Torx-type screws I've seen already come with a bit.

I guess these impact versions are designed to last.

Newer bikes use the Torx-type, at least the higher-end bike I just got recently uses them exclusively. While I was researching why, I learned that there's a general shift toward this type as there's less chances of stripping but it's not always the case with smaller sizes where hex is still popular. Perhaps I'm just resurrecting an old debate. Ikea just needs to package extra Torx wrenches in their flatpacks.

Some people buy extra hex screws (allen head) to not have to carry extra tools around. It's just a matter of preference today but the industry is headed toward Torx. Newer cars also feature Torx as bolt heads don't have to stand as proud (or deep) as hex.

Some bikes that have disc brakes usually use torx to remove discs

I use torx bits daily and certainly don't own a bike.
