They use that style of drive because you can drive the screw in from an odd angle and also they do not strip out the square drive area like a Phillips drive will. FES 387

That screw head was designed by a Canadian named Robertson somewhere in the 1950's. Four sizes matched to a colour. Smallest being yellow, then green, red and black. Never got popular in the States but they really work well, stay on the end of your driver bit and don't strip easily.

Re: classic dominator siding screws
We saw a lot of them in the marine industry in late 50s and the sixtys. Good fastener, lots better than a phillips. Still see them a lot in the electrical industry.
