Higher chance for paper jams to occur maybe?
Nah, feeding from a roll is significantly easier than feeding from a stack of sheets. Tons of variables when it comes to the stack whole 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.
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.
