Which is your opinion. It's not actually the case. Jump would be a natural reaction to get over or around an object or elevations standing in your way. Running through the objects or unnaturally running up a small cliff is a viable option, but it cheapens the look of the game.
The point I made before proved that argument to me personally when I had a non-gamer friend over and while witnessing it thought it was the dumbest and funniest looking thing ever.
If people like to bring arguments displaying their personal annoyance that comes with jump. There are also annoyances that come without having it. The point of annoyance is a poor one. You should start coming up with better arguments.
