Why were rōnin considered dishonorable?

I know that the word itself started in the Nara/Heian periods to describe a deserter and later, meant a wanderer, a master-less samurai. I also know the kanji translates to wave person. Were they dishonorable solely for their refusal to commit seppuku? Were they viewed as miscreants? Were they considered rōnin if they tried to change occupation or master during the Edo period? Thanks!
