All in all, I counted over 250 stainless, single slotted screws that

That kind of old school craftsmanship and tradition is not found much
anymore.

Maybe, but when I see that kind of precision, I think machine.

Hey, what's wrong with that. Just because they came up with a better
screwdriver, does not mean the craftsmanship is not "old school". The
end result is the right materials, used properly. And personally I
suggest that in this case the "old school" practice of aligning the
screwheads may be more than aesthetics. It also makes it much easier
to do a quick check as to any screws that may be coming loose. This
could also make it easier to spot potential problems under the strakes
sooner. If one screw is out of place, it's time to do some
investigating... Just some thoughts from my perspective
