Can a root site be set as home site?
Looks like the underlying SharePoint admin API does not like that it's a hub site.
After de-registering as hub, the root site can be set.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-SPOHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl https://tenant.sharepoint.com
Confirm
Before you set a Home site, make sure you review the documentation at https://aka.ms/homesites. Continue?

The Home site has been set to https://tenant.sharepoint.com. It may take some time for the change to apply. Ch...Can't see any update to my SharePoint mobile app yet. (UPDATE: It appears now.)
Quite frankly though, I cannot fathom the reason why a hub site cannot be set as a home site.

icelava I have the same situation - my root site is a HUB and I want to use it as a HomeSite.
So can you register your HomeSite back to be a HUB after you have set it up to be HomeSite?
MarinBuric You have to do like I did; de-register the root site as a hub first, then run the cmdlet to register it as the home site. You can re-add the hub later.
- OK, same procedure as for SiteSwaping.. but I just wanted to be sure
