This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They probably could use shingles, there are plenty of surrounding houses with about the same pitch that do.
From one to next they look really similar.
2:12 is low slope iirc. So 3:12 can use shingles, but not 2:12.
You’re right though, could just be a look choice on a higher slope. Could be a “trial” roof or something who knows.
