Nothing at all confusing about it.

Jump for Dragoon is a traditional critical damage ability of varying nature -- Jump as an emote is just giving people an animation play with it. Obviously people want Dragoon to retain everything (except for a pet because a pet is bad etc etc!) but the ability to Jump in general really adds nothing to the game especially since it negates the purpose for Dragoon to have a Jump ability if the emote version has battle implementations.

Some people hate Jump for the purpose people go on and on about how it makes the game better and how it leads to more exploration and etc, when the only truth in that is if SE allows it to lead to more exploration or allow Jump to traverse terrain, which with the exception of a few MMOs jump is only an animation, you're still being treated as you're walking/running and what you can't pass while doing as such, you won't be able to while Jumping.

No one plays an MMORPG because you can Jump, this is why some people seem to be getting annoyed by the very thought of it, because pro-jumpers are trying to paint as something that will make the game that much better.
