-cifti-convert is not intended to make files that will work nicely as single-surface files, it is more of a hack for software that can't read cifti yet:
-cifti-convert DUMP CIFTI MATRIX INTO OTHER FORMATS The -cifti-separate command is how you take a structure from a cifti file and turn it into a non-cifti file that will load and display nicely. Cifti does not store surface geometry, so .surf.gii files must be derived from something else (like freesurfer or other provided files). Surface files also don't store ROIs, those go in .func.gii files, just like other surface data besides geometry.
