Why do people feel that jump is a needed feature, to "keep up with modern MMOs?"

I, personally, do not like the feature because it breaks, wait for it, immersion. What are the yay sayers views on jumping?
It enables movement in three dimensions.

It allows me to clear small obstacles (small fences, cliffs, etc.), allows me to scale larger objects with carefully timed jumps (mountains, buildings, etc.), and lets me clear small gaps between objects.

I can do it in real life.

It's fun to do while you're waiting around for people to get their shit together so you can actually do content.
