Not that strange...

I need to get the Zope root object at startup in a FS product to get some
configuration data.
As this runs without any object context in an __init__.py, I can't rely on
any context Zope object.
But I found the workaround:

import Zope
...
root = Zope.app()

Gives the same thing as self.getPhysicalRoot()
