I'd rather replace a damaged roof instead of the whole structure and the resulting internal damage. Those straps are extremely strong. They can take a beating, but no doubt there's debris that can destroy them. If something is big enough to do that, then the wind is the least of the roofs concerns, because the rest of the house is fucked. The possible pros definitely outweigh the cons of using them, even if the don't end up working out.

No one is considering that the owner may have reinforced the roof from the inside either. Wouldnt be hard to determine where the straps are crossing the peak and add reinforcement to ensure the straps dont deform the roof, further adding to the structural integrity.

I find it so weird how people will spin a narrative based on assumptions and just disregard all the other possibilities.

If they buried concrete blocks, I bet you they had the presence of mind to reinforce the roof.
