Makes sense as there is no point in making a short screw in alloy steel,
the softer stainless would give full strength of the engaged threads.

You can also buy the short screws on eBay.   I've been stocking up lately
on M3 to M6 sizes buying them when I see exceptional values.  In some cases
I don't see the seller is making money  For example I have a set of M3, 4,
5, 6, 8 taps I paid $1.75 with free shipping.  Maybe a mistake but I got
them and they work fine.  eBay is good for hardware but it takes hours of
hunting.
