I hope this explains the "why" to you :-)

What are you talking about.
Every bet on the European roulette wheel has a house advantage of ~2.7%. I don't care if you bet one number, 5 numbers, or every number on the damn board. Betting red/black simultaneously doesn't change that. Show me one casino on the planet offering comps equivalent to 2.7% of your total action. There aren't any.
The restriction doesn't exist to protect casinos from advantage players. The restriction exists solely to fleece players. Period.
Casinos which allow blackjack to clear a bonus but disallow roulette either suck at math, are looking to steal money from ignorant players who claim bonuses without reading the terms, or more likely, both.
