First as far as I know the old roots dont have a bypass, so your theory about once you let off the throttle and the valve closes and everything goes away doesnt work. Second i'm talking about the actual stress of the blower itself. Its alot of paracitic drag to begine with and the fact its directly fastened to the heads makes a HUGE difference from a centri or turbo. Every time boost build(and it builds quick with a roots) it immediately stresses the deck and heads. Not so good for head gaskets. Roots also run hotter then a centri.
