Care to explain why a one foot to two feet landing is different than a no feet to two feet landing and thus needs a different term?
You can pivot after one but not the other.

Care to explain why the term jump stop has anything to do with the travel rules?
Because players soooooo often are guilty of a traveling violation when they perform what they consider to be a "legal jump stop." I actually think we would be better off if the term would disappear, along with others we could name.
