I don't claim to know anything about the Sonos architecture but I would
guess they only have one connection to the Rhapsody audio and then
transport the decrypted audio within their closed network to each
player.  We can't do that, so each player needs a separate connection
to the Rhapsody server.

The reason internet radio can't be synced well when on SN is because
each player must make its own connection to the radio server, which
means each player will most likely start at a different point in the
audio.  There is no way to sync the audio if they don't start from a
known good point.  This is why sync does work fine for track-based
content such as Pandora - all the players will start playback at the
same time with the same exact file.
