A few bubbles near the edges or where there is caulking is pretty normal but it should take years for any of them to get larger if at all and the footprints would be completely unacceptable to me.

In some cases a contributing factor can be high pressure in the roof system.
The adhesive is solvent based and must be allowed to gas off and become touch dry prior to bonding the membrane into position.
This area can fill up with air or water to form a blister which looks like a bubble on your roof.
If left untreated a blister can grow larger and allow more moisture to get in so that the problem gets worse until more extensive repairs and possible replacement is necessary unless it pops.
