The original script was that human minds were the most heat efficient computers, which is why they needed to be wired into the matrix in the first place, because just running humans as headless heat zombies should have been possible; but cloud computing human minds would need to have some sort of experience to be corporeal.
Apparently this concept was far too difficult for test audiences to understand so it was scrapped.

"Human minds are computers but in order to use human minds as computers we need to make the matrix as a semi-corporeal realm, oh and this is why people like Trinity can do impossible things like jump really far because their minds are so powerful and actually used in the calculations of the matrix that they can impact it's outcome." Was the part that was too complex.
