Crank-driven centrifugal superchargers combine the worst of both worlds. :p If I had it my way it'd be a air/ball-bearing electrically-assisted turbocharger or a good old Lysholm (twin-screw) crank-driven supercharger.

the roots have evolved slower is all..
where a very high output Vortech/Paxton are easy to come by for most models...
