Nemeo’s take

The roll-out on straps is an excellent exercise for strengthening the abdominal muscles, with great involvement of the core but tension sometimes limited by stability and coordination. Less insulating than a classic abdominal wheel, it requires a strong commitment of the deep muscles to maintain the position, which becomes a functional advantage but a constraint to achieve pure hypertrophy failure. The exercise is primarily limited by the core and not by the target muscle alone, which reduces the potential for progressive overload.
