Alternatively, I can save myself two mod slots by not using Super Jump and not using Heavy Impact, and instead use those slots to improve abilities that aren't garbage.

Super Jump is a dumb ability. It has poor utility without another mod to aid it. I don't need it to escape enemies. I have Slash Dash which can kill enemies AND help me escape a situation of being surrounded. I have Radial Blind to render an entire room temporarily unable to harm anyone. I have Radial Javelin which can completely clear out a room in an instant. I have two AoE attacks already and they are both stronger than Heavy Impact, damage a wider area than Heavy Impact, and don't take up an extra mod slot like Heavy Impact.

Having an ability wasted to let me reach higher places a tiny bit faster is awful. It's not even particularly good about it. Vauban's Bounce does the same thing and it can aid the entire party. Nova's wormhole is a thousand times more versitile and aids the entire party. Even Loki's clone and teleport is more versatile, AND can be used to help party members. Pretty much every other Frame with some form of extra mobility is not only more versatile, but aids the party. The only exception being Ash's teleport, which actually synergizes with his invisibility.

You can satisfy your unwarranted sense of smug superiority by thinking people only hate the ability because it does no damage, but the truth is that people hate it because it doesn't do damage OR utility in any meaningful way.
