This is arguably just Controllable Disadvantage, which is a Perk.

It's problematic if using multiplicative modifiers, but not for the standard system, where Naked Jumper isn't an Advantage with a base cost of [70], it's an Advantage with a base cost of [100] and a -30% Limitation. With Either/Or Limitations you might be able to argue for an adjustment for when using multiplicative modifiers, but honestly you're just adding in complication for a difference of maybe +1% for the end cost, so it's not really worth it to mess with.
