Could you build this?
No Roblox Studio is a large proprietary engine and editor, and a real native version would require Roblox's internal file formats, Luau runtime, rendering pipeline, and plugin/API compatibility, none of which are public.
What it would actually take: A real version would need a native rendering engine (likely Rust with wgpu or Vulkan), a parser and writer for Roblox's binary place and model formats, and a Luau-compatible runtime with the Roblox API surface. Much of that is undocumented and would require reverse engineering, plus years of graphics and engine engineering.
