Maybe you should consider analyzing your internet connection or perhaps your PC because myself nor anyone I know has warp problems as you have described them.

Illogical? Item A causes problem X. Problem X remains unresolved for extended periods of time, harming the overall project. Remove/modify Item A so that it no longer causes harm to the project...seems like pretty standard logic. I have yet to see you provide one suggestion that fixes the main problem with surge (the warping) without introducing even more (making the implant useless for those who only use it as a travel aide while still allowing it to be exploited, albeit in a much more limited fashion). So please, if you wish to discuss someone's ideas not properly addressing a problem, make sure you provide a good illustration of something that does.
Back to the logic argument, a shirt causes me to itch, which keeps me from working as effectively as I could as I spend so much time scratching. By your reasoning, it is illogical to change my shirt to get my performance back to where it should be. It goes straight back to "doctor doctor! It hurts when I do this!"...the answer is "Don't do that". Well, Surge is hurting PS. While the vote numbers are too low for anything conclusive, leaving surge alone is in the clear minority of opinion.
The Devs aren't doing anything because as said earlier, everyone already thinks they screwed up by not fixing it already, so why make those people who are happily exploiting upset by taking away their shiny toy? The damage has already been done, just roll with it and maybe it'll get fixed along the way.
The issue with warping on stairs has been a known problem for a long time. It can even affect people who are not surging if they get moving fast enough (or jump). I realize it's easier to hide behind the idea that someone else's machine or connection is inferior than to admit that the Surge implant needs to have some serious work done to it, but there are too many people saying that Surge is broken to just shrug and go "oh well".
It's also easy to adopt the elitist attitude of "well, you should get a better machine" but that's the exact attitude that will ensure that you don't have anyone to play PS with anymore. We're trying to analyze what is best for the game, and leaving in a feature that causes such frustrations to players and evidently (on the data gathered so far...again, far too small of a sample to be conclusive) has more than 2/3s saying that *something* needs to be done to it says quite clearly to me that leaving it in its current state is not the smartest idea.
Doesn't matter if YOU see the problem. That someone else sees the problem (and I'm sure there are people for whom surge made this game unplayable) should be enough to look into it. That this has been brought to the Devs attention time after time after time indicates that this is more than an isolated bug. It's a bug, and what's worse, it's an exploitable bug. I can't blame the implant, but leaving something in that causes problems is foolish. You don't leave cancer in your body, even if it is benign overall (Please note that is an illustrative metaphor...it is not meant to imply in any way that Surge or those who use it are a cancer).
