That image shown was taken in 2018.
Below is an image of what has grown this season.
Not quite a vomit of roots just yet... more like a gassy burp?

Re: Opinions on Aerial roots on ficus
To be clear - I wasn’t meaning to offend anyone on any particular tree and indeed, this example is a harmonious flow. More that my personal taste - for example - I recently took messy aerial roots off a NZ Christmas Tree and I’m happier with that tree now ... that said, it’s all subjective and as noted previously, there are many fine examples of trees where the aerial roots look great.
