There is something wrong with having the DCs of checks be found in a confusing table. To illustrate let us look at the example of jumping over a 10 foot pit.
PF 1e: DC 10.... That's it.
PF 2E: First determine the level of difficulty. Is it 0? Is it 1? Is it 2? According to the rules-
"A high-difficulty skill DC can be overcome by a character who has increased their proficiency rank in a skill but doesn’t have a high score in the associated ability (like if a typical rogue were attempting an Athletics check).
This is the default difficulty in Pathfinder." Page 336
The only locations in the table that 10 shows up is level 0 with a low difficulty and the level 1 with a trivial DC. If we want to change the base DC that's fine, but it's rather confusing to have the table with difficulty "Levels" and yet explicitly state that the checks SHOULD NOT be determined by character level.
"It’s important that you don’t simply make the DC arbitrarily higher or lower with the PCs’ level." Page 336
Personally I find the table confusing and convoluted when compared to setting DCs from PF 1e. Give the base for the check and then allow a GM to make adjustments based on complications.
It also prevents people from mistaking the level on the side to indicate Character level and thus make the mistake of having a trivial jump over a 10 foot pit be a DC 29+ for a Level 20 character.
Jumping is not a good example here. The rules for that are covered by the Leap action (page 308) and the Long Jump use of Athletics (page 147).
You take a careful but short jump. You can Leap up to 10 feet horizontally if your Speed is at least 15 feet, or up to 15 feet horizontally if your Speed is at least 30 feet. You land in the space where your Leap ends (meaning you can typically clear a 5-foot gap if your Speed is between 15 feet and 30 feet, or a 10-foot gap if your Speed is 30 feet or more).
If you make a vertical Leap, you can move up to 3 feet vertically and 5 feet horizontally onto an elevated surface.
Jumping a greater distance requires using the Athletics skill (see pages 146-147).
So just about everyone can automatically Leap a 10 foot pit.
When you're trying to do a Long Jump, the DC is 5+distance.
