Not every thing needs an impact.
Almost like that's what it's for.

Of course these aren't the world's best screws I'm working with but they are what's included. Doing it all with manual driver is exhausting.
I have a ryboi and a different brand of electric drivers. Both lack the necessary power and the batteries often die so I have had use both. My larger impacts are just too large to work with. The m12 driver helps when it fits but it often doesn't.
Would love this form factor with an impact driver that could do 500+ screws in a day.
If this one specifically has some sort of torque issue you've encountered, maybe give some context of what, to you, "zero torque" means? But if you're complaining about the class of precision micro drivers in general: you're wrong, and you're either using them wrong or you got a bad one.
Personally, sometimes these precision micro-drivers run faster than I'd like for certain applications, and I wish the gearing was different or they had variable speed. The form factor when they make them just round tubes isn't the greatest. And I prefer a standard drill's torque clutch (aka the ring with numbers apparently nearly no one knows how to use properly) to how these handle torque settings. But they're incredibly useful if you do any amount of work that involves more than just one or two machine screws.
What I mostly use is a 3 year old Arrowmax SES mini, and I've bought extra mini drivers when on sale just for whenever I inevitably burn out the motor or the battery finally gives out. The idea of doing without it is beyond painful for electronics work and 3d printer repair/rebuilds. But fanttiks are usually well reviewed on average (all of these drivers end up with cases of lemons/etc). It's not meant to replace my Bosch 12v, much less my 18v impact driver, but equally I'd never use those for the type of work I use it on (the 12v would be fine for most 3d printer work at least with the clutch set right, but annoying in tight spaces).
