True! I have seen a few educational or theme routes that way. In that case it's meant to be a roundtrip, or you make a roundtrip using the same way back by necessity. Regular linear hikes are not meant to be used as roundtrips, though you could go back the same way of course.
I would use roundtrip=yes only for routes designed for roundtrips. Which can encompass a lot of geographical layouts, even single chain linear routes as illustrated by your example. A closed_loop would automatically qualify as a roundtrip, I think, but I trust someone will come up with an exception!
