>He felt like one to me
No, he's just a shallow character and a bad unit.
>Is there any real difference between Roy and Byleth outside of the fact that latter is hyper-autistic?
Byleth is a good unit, has a broader range of potential spouses, gets their prf weapon and class earlier on, and doesn't speak.
Roy is a bad unit, has a smaller range of potential spouses, needs to wait until endgame to get a good weapon and class, and speaks often.
They're basically opposites.
