Your potted tree isn’t a tree in the sense that I’m talking about. The environmental services trees provide are all based on size and are predominantly provided by larger trees.

Does its root structure break the pavement above it?

How much CO2 does the tree on your desk take in? Do you think it approaches 1/1000 of the amount that a bunch of algae can take in? So maybe it’s not the same and comparing it as being the same is done in bad faith. Trees are great and in many cases are superior as they also provide shade, but you can’t ignore the negatives of them(mostly related to their roots) and that they don’t work in every situation
