if the wind was behind you it might be an advantage to have an enormous hoop on your back. Or you could erect it on the pannier rack like a mainsail for side-winds.

My tent is packed all attached and goes up in a minute with 4 pegs and a quickly inserted pole. There is no big advantage in the hoopy ones.
Decathlon do a backpacker tent that erects like that , as do other manufacturers.

The main advantage of popup tents is that you can pitch them whilst blind drunk.

I know from experience that pitching a tent whilst drunk is challenging. We managed to drive back from the restaurant to the campsite but were unable to handle pitching our tent.

Isn't the circularness essential to the pop-uppiness?
