I've never seen a corded drill that was meant for driving screws as opposed to drilling only.

If you use a sledgehammer instead of a screwdriver, don't complain about furniture falling apart.

That's more a function of battery-powered drills being good enough and the stuff that requires a plug is designed to drill through concrete. My cordless Milwaukee has pressure-sensitive speed and a very granular torque setting, along with hammer drill and screw settings. My Ikea furniture is basically bulletproof.

You can drill through concrete with a cordless drill too, they're definitely good enough, especially with modern batteries.
