As for why, I'm thinking folks are reasoning as long as blacks remain on death row across the country, the 'optics' of supporting a reprieve for Root are just too much to stomach.
And there is some appealing symmetry there, and maybe some appropriate cadence too, Root gets his reprieve when everyone else does.
In the meantime, if he gets "Dahmer'd" I'd expect a similar non reaction now as then.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
