Eli5: Is there a reason roller skates and roller blades don’t have spring shocks?

Question

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?

Answer 1

I’m using skateboard scooter from decathlon (elops) with shock absorber. Very easy to skate and very comfortable with poor quality roads here in India.
