For some reason there is jack support in all the major

and afaik it's done wrong in all of them (autoconnecting and
disconnecting on several occasions, which renders it pretty much

My guess is that they just want to have a nice feature list...
Players that rely on PortAudio, GStreamer, or PulseAudio must utilize
the backend's JACK implementation. The builders of those systems need to
understand the non-utility of how the backends are handling JACK
connectivity. OTOH, players that use JACK directly have no excuse for
sub-standard handling of the connections.
