The biggest draw of round timers is they create deadlines that reduce asymmetric negotiation advantages between the asset-rich and economic rent payers. The biggest drain of IP rights from the poor to the asset-rich is using time as a weapon—tactics where IP is deemed worthless until the creator is dead, or delaying negotiations since one participant has abundant resources versus a participant with none. Round timers allow the IP-rich but asset-poor participant to manage this pain, since roadmaps gift token buyers a tool to use for leverage, countering the non-participation advantage typically held by the asset-rich.
