      Slight myth there. It was not the intended purpose, but a sort of happy accident. The original patent stated it was a perfect, never damaging thing. See here and the reply here.

        Correct. The original patent makes no reference to any sort of cam out / torque limiting feature.

      Well, limiting torque but killing itself and becoming extremely hard to remove is terrible design lol
