What the article kind of gets wrong or at least doesn't mention explicitly: pre-Quake id shooters didn't have a jumping sound not because it wasn't a priority, but because it simply wasn't possible to jump in Wolf 3D or Doom 1/2. So it totally makes sense that the first id game where you could jump would also have a sound for it.
