There’s nothing stopping you from using separate changes to emulate the staging area if you want.
That is, in essence, the "squash workflow": https://steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tutorial/real-world-w...
The big differences are that the jj approach gives you a commit message for the staging change, and lets you jump to some other commit without extra steps.
I can, but I don’t need to.
jj has nothing I need, so it would be changes for the sake of changes. I’m not saying it’s bad, but people do need to realize that their struggles are theirs, not the whole world.

Totally fair :) personally I used to be a git wizard and I am relieved at how much about it I’ve been able to forget since learning jj, but I understand not everyone has the same experience.
