I understand why there are warp rooms in webfoot DROD, but why
is there a warp room on level 16 of JtrH? Are levels 17 and 18 that annoying?

As far as I can remember, it's just a video game tradition to have some kind of sanctioned cheat like a warp room. If you use it, you'll have to restore back to get the secrets on the levels you skipped if you want to access the Dreamplane, so it's only a way to get the normal ending faster. (And since the warp room is secret, it's required for the Dreamplane as well. So we expect dedicated players to find them anyway.)

Game on,

I think we partially put them in just to make JtRH slightly less linear. There wasn't much deep thought put into their locations, except that they shouldn't be used to short-circut plot areas (like the goblin king stuff). I know I put one in (not the one on level 16) for no better reason than that the level in question needed a new secret room and I figured a warp room was as good as any.
