6-lobe tamper is great for acute psychiatry and corrections where you’re dealing with violent and self injurious behavior. You don’t want people pulling screws out to make shivs / lockpicks / things to slit their wrists with or pulling utility plates off the wall to access wiring for fire setting or expose studs or plumbing to anchor a noose on. It’s a lot harder to improvise a tool to remove a 6-lobe than it is a flat or even a Phillips.
A narrow flat blade, like 3/16 or 5/32 will go between the lobes and center piece and allow the screw to be backed out. Done it with loads of HP SAS that insist on T10 security screws.
