There are too many balanced ranges to cover if 2N is not played as natural. In direct seat the weak NT hand type can just pass, but in balancing seat it bids 1N. An extra bid is needed to distinguish between all the ranges intelligently, and this is still hard to do specifically over a 1S opener.

If 1D-1S-2D-2S shows extras playing weak jump shifts how does one bid QJxxxx Qxxxx --- xx?
