What is the usefulness of distinct roots if all carry the same information
about TLDs? Is it a matter of principle, or what?

If you are thinking at ".biz", for instance, I'm sure that "most people
wouldn't even notice it" either ;>)

I'm not sure I understand.
People that point to the ICANN (just for identification purposes, I know
ICAN does not control it) root will continue to see the DNS according to the
ICANN root: they are not accessing the "alternate root's" .biz now, and they
would not care not to access it in the future.
OTOH, the few people that are seeing the DNS according to any "alternate
root" do see the "alternate root's" .biz now, and will continue to see it in
the future regardless what ICANN will put in its root.
There's no need to burn anybody.

Roberto
