The plant doesn't actually like being root bound at all. It just doesn't tolerate wet feet well, and a small volume of soil filled with roots guarantees that the moisture is used up quickly so air can return to the soil in a short time. You can accomplish the same thing in a very large pot (if you prefer), which will allow the plant to grow much more rapidly, by using a very fast and porous soil.
