Yeah this looks super unstable in the long run, and they look vulnerable to heat / heavy rain in a way that will interfere with their life expectancy even if they stay in place on the roof.

Maybe it's temporary, or maybe I'm wrong and she knows what she is doing. Maybe the cords that are laid along the roof are anchoring the whole thing in place somehow. Maybe that little balcony below is already chocked up full with plants, and she's putting the surplus up here and staying alive is their problem.

How are they any more vulnerable to heavy rain than a plant would normally be?

Personally, I prefer growing things in fewer and larger pots, but I can't really see any issue here.

They can actualy survive surprisingly well if those are drought-tolerant plants like succulents or herbs, but she'd need to water more frequently since the small pots will dry out fast in that direct sun exposure.

Yes they will

Back when my wife and I were at our apartment. we had just about every surface that faced a window filled with plants. It was great.

Found this on a wiki page on Giant miscanthus.

Land use chart

Tldr; Less than 50% of 'suitable' land is in use.

I suspect their definition of suitable is also pretty narrow.
