Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I have installed several standing seam roofs myself. Snow is not an issue if you control it where you want with snow bars.
What we have noticed is the standing seam adds physical strength to the roof system. Walk across the roof sheeting before and after and you can feel how much less deflection you get.
It also resists big tree limbs for this reason. We live in the PNW in big trees, and the roofs have been great. My RV got holed by a limb but I have not found a dent or mark in the metal roof.
They make clips for snow that do not screw on, they clamp the ridge.

I don't have a problem with a screw through the ridge of the seam, myself.
They also make really nifty solar panel mounts that clip onto the standing seams without penetration.

you could use a few of those and some aluminum angle for a do it yourself snow bar.
