The second, third and fourth bits look like are commonly used in home appliances such as notebooks, televisions, set top boxes, Xbox, apple computers/books/iPod/iPhone/ PlayStation, but also used in Cars/Boats/ Hobby toys; in various sizes. As described in the wiki they are used for precise torque tightening in devices that require precise adjustments, for example the CD-ROM tray in an Xbox.
Because they used it inside the devices they might as well use the same screws in the lidscovers to reduce cost of other types of screws. When they started using them some time back to stop, people thought they were there to soptstop them from easily getting in and tinkering with the electronics inside.
But as you have experienced your self, you got all these interchangeinterchangable bits in a standard screwdriver set now a days for a few bucks.
Like @staticsan mentions the Pozidriv is an improved version of the philips screwdriver.
