What is good about bunny hopping? It raises the skill ceiling, but it doesn't do so in an interesting or challenging way. It's basically just a "rub your head and pat your belly" test, what TVTropes calls "fake difficulty." It doesn't test your tactics or your aim or your situational awareness; it just tests your ability to stay focused while hammering the spacebar continuously.

Aim and situational awareness aren't the only aspects that matter in a 1v1 game. Because of that, I'd say it raises the skill ceiling in a very meaningful way. It can be hard to master, and it's not critical to understanding the map, but if you want to have real success, you need to be able to take advantage of the new paths that open up to you with bhopping. It raises the amount of aim and situational awareness needed. And I'd say it does so in a fun way.
