TT's wiggle because the frames are so flimsy that even with 4-corner jacks there is still a lot of movement.

I'm not a seasoned veteran of RVs, but our sales guy explained the difference to us similar to your example. We have a class C, and he said leveling jacks are extremely rare on class C's due to cost, as well as explaining as you did how they work to auto level the camper from the driver's seat.
We have stabilizer jacks. We have two scissor jacks on the back end that I get out and get the jack-arm thingy that turns them down. We were told quite explicitly that they will not carry the weight of the MH and are never ever to be used to change a tire.
But they do a great job at stabilizing!
