“Maror isn’t horseradish”
Marror IS horseradish AS WELL.
“Lettuce is maror. The Bavli and the Shulhan Arukh are clear that you use hazeret- romaine lettuce- for maror.”
No they are not. Horseradish is mentioned as far back as the Mishnah- for Marror (called Tamchah). It is also mentioned in the Bavli and the Shulchan Aruch. (where are you getting your info from?)
“Horseradish seems to have been used because they didn’t have green vegetables in Europe”
The Chofetz Chaim (Hafetz Haim) lived in Europe, and says people use Romaine Lettuce ???? ?????, ??? ??”? ?’ ?’, ?”? , so there’s strike 3.
Sam2- ???? ?????, ??? ??”? ?’ ?, says openly that ????”? – (Chrain) is Tamcha, which can be used for Marror. It may not be optimal, but it IS good for Marror. So please verify.
