I was thinking about this the other day…skateboards are flexible, bike tires are bouncy. Why aren’t there “performance” skates with shocks? Wouldn’t that be better for your knees?

Ever try to pedal a full suspension (front and rear) mountain bike on flat ground or god forbid uphill? The shocks (especially the rear one) absorb like 50% of your pedal energy making it way more effort to move the bike.
The same thing would happen with roller skates, and your knees just act like shock absorbers anyways.
