I have a set of these that was part of a larger set of precision bits I was buying anyway. I've only ever used one of the security bits in like a decade of having them. I wouldn't have bought the security bits alone.
That's more than some sockets or crescent wrenches I have from sets. I don't know that I've ever used an 11mm of either.
