Because you only have a pivot foot in very specific circumstances that are very spefically laid out in the rules. If you have both feet on the ground and receive a pass, you have no pivot foot. That's not that hard to understand. You don't have a pivot foot until you pick up one of your feet.
Similarly, the rules stipulate that if you receive a pass with one foot on the floor and jump off the foot, you may land on both feet simultaneously. But then you are not allowed a pivot foot. Make sense?

Even if you suppose the rule as it is written: when you land on both feet simultaneously, then either can be the pivot foot.

No, b/c the rule explicitly states that neither foot is allowed to be the pivot. Why do you want to make it harder than it has to be?

OK. So as you go to jump again, the left one comes up first (so this is NOW the right is your pivot foot) As soon as you lift the right one...you have just traveled.

No you haven't. The rules allow you to jump, you just can't pivot.

It is rule changes like this that errode the fundamentals imo.

You should at least understand the rule before you decide its effect on the game.
