I hear you! But, as you can imagine, sealing line voltage circuits
is regarded as a virtue in the consumer electronics world.
There are other solutions to this problem. Nintendo for example
uses some funky screws for their consoles and power bricks.
Common households normally don't have drivers or bits for them.
The bits cost only a few Dollars/Euros and a dedicated person
can acquire and use them to open the cases without damage
while curious Johnny-five-years-old stays off limits.
