Use an impact driver and they countersink themselves.
Or use screws that are designed to self-countersink?

TurboGold have the same ribs under the head.
In limited circumstances...
In hardwood, yes. In many other cases, not really needed. Evolution of screw design and materials, and power driving has changed "correct".
Fastidious workers strive to set all the screws to the same depth in the counter sink.If slot headed screws are used also with all the slots aligned. Pub and church work
You mean too idle to use a screwdriver.
At my age simply not able to do the workload, actually.
When I was screwing down P5 chipboard - hard, blue, facing - even a good CS bit struggled. A masonary bit did the initial CS then a CS bit corrected the angle. This avoided a standard bit pulling through.
No, not daft enough to when I have a copious choice of better suited options, and the skills to use them!
