Your theory of, "JFs turn the casual players off" is pretty wrong. SF is one of the biggest fighting games out there right now, competitively and casually, and it uses 1 frame links in BLOCKSTRINGS.
But you don't get the "I'm special!" flash which scares casuals. (Main reason I came to that conclusion is because I've had a lot of players freak out when I do something like Cassie's 4BB:A. Doesn't matter that it's stupid easy to do, it flashes, so they'd start screaming about how they actually have lives blah blah blah...)
Also, a lot of players (Even casual ones) love high execution characters. While some may not, adding characters like Setsuka isn't a bad thing. Besides, the execution in SC4 is piss easy, why not have something to make it a bit harder?
Making execution harder just for the sake of making execution harder is a pointless barrier.
