I sweat a lot and hiking with jeans would feel disgusting.

  So why would you ever wear them?

    Cotton is generally a great fabric if you sweat, because it wicks moisture and breathes. Denim started its life as workwear. However, if you're building up moisture too fast or you just get a bit wet from weather, and you have a lot of friction from walking, your thighs can get chafed to hell. I think it's odd that chafing wasn't mentioned once in the post. I have had it happen before on a day trip in a very humid climate and it was awful. That doesn't mean I don't ever wear jeans.

      > Cotton is generally a great fabric > if you sweat, because it wicks > moisture and breathes. Cotton is the antithesis of wicking - it holds moisture and chills the skin. It would be hard to find a fabric worse at wicking than cotton. It can hold liquid up to 27 times its mass. Jeans have no practical application outside workwear, they are purely fashion.
