its also possible to wristjack 200, imo. Also, I think a thing to note is that when most people think of vibro, they think of like, loooooooooooong jacks, not 5-10 note jacks and such.
EDIT: also, generally speaking, if a file contains a 200 bpm long jack, most people would just class it as vibro and like, not play the file.
I'm gonna chime in with my 2c on vibro/why I think people tend to dislike it - I feel like vibro is like, a complete contrast from every other stepmania skillset. For example, if you practice streams, or jumpstream, or even chordjacks and such, you improve muscle memory and the skillsets transfer over to one another, somewhat. Vibro, on the other hand, is such a niche and isolated skill, that the
only situation being good at vibro helps at, is playing vibro things specifically (like you said, what if a 200bpm long jack occurs in a file).
Because of this, vibro takes specific practice and training to learn to do, and it only benefits you on vibro specific patterns, so most people tend to think it's a useless skill etc.
Another factor that leads to people disliking vibro in modern times is osumania as well, imo - because of how the star rating system in osu works, where NPS = star rating, there comes a point where the only way to realistically increase a maps star rating is to add like, "vibro walls", or long rolls etc, to boost the star rating. Just as an extreme example, there is an osu private server called ripple where any map can be ranked, and because of how the star rating system works, the top level meta is exclusively vibro:

Just as a comparison - a 100% accuracy play on like, Eternal Drain, which is rated 26 in stepmania, would give you 650pp - Many people would argue that being able to do that is FAR more difficult than being able to vibro, and that's where alot of the hate stems from.
