rooves and roofs are both accepted as correct though? Roofs being the standard is a pretty new thing, and not the more common one everywhere

I haven't once seen 'rooves' used, let alone be considered as correct.

Wiktionary says it changed in the 17th century, so depending on your definition of "new", sure. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/roofs

It doesn't sound weird to me personally, although it does look weird when written out.

It is how I was taught in the 80s, and I went to school in Europe, and the US. So, pretty recently it was quite common.
