It seems they can make trusses that leave usable space, but they cost more: https://www.askthebuilder.com/roof-t...e-bonus-space/
Those exist. They're called attic trusses or something. Can't provide as big a space as the raftered attic in the picture. The slanted ceiling part is [more] limited.

Does this post mean anything? Thinking about building a geodesic dome? Don't.
Anecdotal. Paint isn't a roofing material. An engineer isn't an architect. No oculus = no ventilation.

I've actually seen one worse example. It's gone now too.
