I have some similar screwdrivers.
You can get fancy ground ones which will be silver, but with a matt grey tip.
These ones are the cheapo ones, but dipped into black paint so they look like the quality ones.

Could it be possible it's just dipped to avoid scratching, since they shipped it to use with a finish screw? Maybe I'm projecting too much altruism onto the manufacturer.

Yeah, black tips are usually magnetic to grab screws easier, but this one isn't I don't think... 😅
