Sure, they can technically move the plane on regular roads too

Well, not really. Or technically, they can if they move fast enough. If they stop, wherever they are will stop being a road quickly.

And there's that entire problem of making room for the wings. It's one of the largest problems when designing airports.

Yes, the wings are a huge problem. Not that many roads can handle something as wide as a plane.
