You don't jump because it's a lot easier to remain consistent with your feet on the ground. Jumping would almost certainly lower their FT%s.

Yes and I'm basically a 100% free throw shooter off the backboard and probably 50-60% when I try to swish. It is so much easier, literally impossible to miss, how could it be any other way.

The real mystery is with the emphasis on analytics that no one is making a push for underarm free throws, which have been shown to be superior.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/apr/26/granny-style-is-best-way-to-take-a-basketball-free-throw-study-shows

A scientific analysis has concluded that using a “granny style” underarm technique is the optimal way to take a free throw in basketball.

Adopting the unorthodox strategy could result in marginal gains for professional players, the research suggests. And, as sporting doctrine goes, marginal gains can lead to remarkable results.

the problem I see (and I haven't read that Guardian article, so I don't know if its addressed) is that having a dramatically different form for free throws and regular shots makes your practice time incredibly inefficient.

If the two shots share similar mechanics then your practice time spent on jump shots will have crossover benefits to your free throws and vice-versa.
