I assume that you are referring to a number of Roon/Tidal integration enhancements that have been released in Roon build 806, but the way you phrase the question is both loaded and misleading.
Roon’s primary attraction to most users is the way it integrates with streaming platforms, and for many like me the way it integrates local and external (streamed) music libraries. At present, Roon is able to do this with only two external streaming service providers, and so (to put it into your choice of words), Roon is (and has to be) “in bed” with its two external streaming partners.
It stands to reason that Roon will look to facilitate new features from both Tidal and Qobuz as an when they become viable within Roon, such as the new personal Tidal Mixes. It’s really pretty obvious, isn’t it?
Would you prefer that Roon had not introduced the new Tidal mixes? If so why?

My choice of words was unfortunate and i am sorry.
KNOW i have a Tidal subscription but only use it through Roon.
I ONLY OCCASIONALLY GO INTO MY TIDAL. Say i am looking for Beethoven i search in Roon not Tidal, the results will include Tidals discs also mine I would imagine many Roon users use it in this way.
ROONS Summer just appeared to be pointed at Tidal and not Tidal pointed at Roon sorry if i touched a nerve
My Tidal account is only a library in my ROON.
Ilook to, Roon for rhe work and it has served me well for many years. One thing i do miss is the predictive search in Roon it was excellent, can we please have that back
Roon is in bed with Tidal/Qobuz because Tidal/Qobuz probably pays Roon commission or bonuses for each person who connects their account through Roon to show that Roon helps attract and retain new Premium, HIFI, or Sublime users to Tidal/Qobuz instead of Spotify HIFI, Apple Music Lossless, Amazon Music HD, Deezer, HRA, Sonos Radio HD, etc. There are a lot of us who are paying monthly/yearly for Tidal/Qobuz because of how well integrated it is with Roon. Also, how Roon is prioritizing a lot of major updates and its whole Valiance system with Qobuz (more so Tidal). Just my best guess. Could be wrong but makes partial sense.
Absolutely false. This is incorrect speculation.
It was most definitely not excellent.
But if you just want simple matching, go to your albums and “filter”.
