I have those. I much prefer this style, which has been around forever, and you don't have to fiddle with locking & unlocking them. They're much better at gripping stuff too.

They're not supposed to click, they're supposed to pick up and hold onto food. People have used that style very effectively over many decades. If you've never used them how can you judge? To do so is ultracrepidarian.

I still can’t tell if your serious. Why would you hold food with a clicker? Wouldn’t they get dirty?

They don't click. FPS! Why would they click? Do scissors click? Yes, they get food on them, that's what dishwashing and dishwashers are for.

Of course I'm serius and so are the millions & millions of households who've used since tongs since at least the 1950s.

Did you think there are only one type of tongs?

You're assuming some weird things without any knowledge of them whatsoever. Look up "scissor tongs" on the internet if you care to get an idea of how prevalent they are.

"Scissor tongs have paddle-shaped tips that better grip bulky items such as baked potatoes or corn on the cob. Serving tongs also have specific purposes, such as placing ice cubes in drinks, transferring slippery noodles and food styling at fine dining restaurants or photography shoots. Jul 2, 2019"

For instance:
