Permarooted mobs are not rooted. It is a different mechanic. You'll notice because rooted mobs have differing behavior based on who stands closest.

Is there any evidence presented here that shows permarooted mobs are taking less archery damaged compared to non-rooted mobs?

You get a message saying your archery hit did double damage that goes along with the normal hit message on non-rooted non-moving mobs on a 50+ ranger. You do not get this message on permarooted mobs and the damage is noticeably not doubled.
