"If you took your car in for service and they welded your hood shut, you wouldn't be very happy,"

GM used to use torx screws on the headlight trim to 'encourage' folks to pay dealer prices to replace a burned out headlight. You could switch out a Chrysler of the same era with an ordinary phillips head.

Had that trouble with a '94 Chevy van. Had to go into town (25 mi round trip) to the AutoZone and get the correct screwdriver (already bought the lamps). I was not happy.
