Perhaps to some, but ROM stands for read-only memory, and if you have a fixed Saw wave that cannot be skewed or the harmonic timbres changed, or a pulse wave where the pulse width cannot be widened, you effectively have a read-only waveform in memory, and it really does not matter if the way they are physically stored in memory is in a map of bits or series of static commands.
I do understand what you're saying but I'm calling a spade a spade on this one. A real synthesizer lets you modulate one oscillator with another and so forth.
These aren't real synths in my book and it's why Roland is scared to use the word oscillator in their specs.
