That type of roaming actually ends up breaking a lot of WiFi implementations — it’s really only super useful for WiFi VoIP phones. I worked with a vendor (Bandspeed) doing that kind of WiFi roaming back in 2005, so it’s not remotely a new concept.
Most other devices will jump to another AP broadcasting on the same SSID if the signal is a lot stronger. It’s not nearly as much of an issue as it used to be, but people expect WiFi to Just Work (tm) so it’s better to let the OS’ network stack manage it.
