How is pulling a sheet from a roll more complicated than pulling a sheet from a stack?

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 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.
