Sound quality - not as good as other programs?

What surprises me is that Roon is taking the supposedly huge effort in writing a new OS just because some people has less powerful HW, or because Windows or some firewalls potentially can make problems.

All this to overcome support issues.

This is a mischaracterization. There’s a huge difference between “writing a new OS” and “packaging up a minimalist Linux distribution”.

I’ve gone into much more detail on some of the motivations behind ROCK here. There is way more to it than support.
