It's been many years since printing from a PC involved little more than buying a printer and some ink, then purchasing extra cartridges when needed. Today, the...
Nah, feeding from a roll is significantly easier than feeding from a stack of sheets. Tons of variables when it comes to the stack while a roll is much more consistent and avoids the issue of reliably pulling a single sheet from a stack which is not a trivial problem.
Seems to me needlessly mechanically complicated. Why not just build for single standard paper, then complicate later?
How is pulling a sheet from a roll more complicated than pulling a sheet from a stack?
They have cutter intergrated inside which add complexity.
Higher chance for paper jams to occur maybe?

Yea its sometimes quite hard to separate pieces of paper with your fingers, i have no idea how machines do it
A bunch of rollers that need to be cleaned fastidiously if you want them to keep working.
They dip their fingers in honey first.
I suspect because feeding and aligning sheets is much harder than feeding from a roll. Probably requires some sensing hardware, which might be fiddly.
Based on the description, it’s perfectly capable of printing single standard (letter, A4, even A3) paper. The roll is just an option.
