Do all orchids get rotten roots?

This is a NOID phal that I got from a sale. I'm repotting it into something that I think drains better even though it will be probably too big for the plant. The plant originally was planted in spagmum moss. I'm moving it into bark. It just seems that every 'adult' orchid I plant seems to have rotten roots and I wondered if its possible to raise one without them?



I'm not sure if you can tell in that picture but several of the roots were mushy.
