Why overhead doors need tracks?

Overhead doors open thanks to the existence of the tracks. The garage door rollers hold the door panel and move it through the vertical and curved track (at the corner) all the way up to the horizontal tracks along the ceiling. There wouldn't be another way to open/close the door.

Why is the opener shaking when the door is moving?
