Sure, it's totally fine to not like them. My point wasn't whether jump scares are good or bad, but just to explain why they're used in basically every horror movie ever. They're a good tool to help ease less experienced horror fans into the movie who would otherwise walk out or turn it off once the tension got to be too much for them.
