Let's see

Roleplay, means character development and the impact the players have on the game, aka their choices are reflected in what goes on. This will not really be possibl3e in the warhammer setting.

point 1. few factions, as elaborated before, do offer rpg gameplay for the players and make sense in the rpg setting

point 2. nthere is hardly any switching from faction to faction possible for the player. I will make an easy example: in many role playing games, you can side with different parties in the main questline and make several chocies to ally or oppose minor factions in the sidequests. For example, if we took that over to w40k, you could be allied with orks or dark eldar and still be in the guard. even if we only took the imperium, you coudl theoreticcally be an enemy of the Ecclesiarchy/Sisters of Battle and still be a Space Marine Captain and Inquisitor at the same time.
