Why is there a roller bearing in there?
I was looking at the FSM to see what's involved in overhauling rear suspension on my W116, and I came upon a section "replacing roller bearing on wheel carrier" to ME a wheel bearing is what takes all the rotational load on the rear axle and stuff.....right?
then I looked further to see that the bearing in question isn't even on the rotating assembly of the rear wheel carrier.....WHY?

They might have gone with a bearing rather than the usual rubber bushing to maintain the correct geometry. The W116 was designed to have less dive and squat than earlier cars.

The braking load is used to reduce, or eliminate, rear lift.

just strikes me as odd to use a bearing like that...you'd eventually see flat spots on the rollers
