I don't either, I've never heard anyone give riding downhill as a benefit of rollers.

E-motion rollers help with downhills.

Someone convince me to keep riding these things.

I take it your rollers don't have a resistance unit on them.
I can get a better workout on my rollers at settings 1-2 than I ever could on my Cycleops Fluid 2. And I don't get bored on them either.
And I blew away my best time on my 50 mile route this afternoon.
So I would argue they do work.
