I don't disagree with that, at all. But aside from elite young guys, that's pretty much the norm. Let's not forget, Jake hasn't been given a chance in an offensive role either, his zone starts are heavily defensive and linemates are bottom 6.
Really, the biggest issue Jake has faced is that he is a very capable bottom 6 player, much moreso than other wingers and that ability has kept him out of offensive roles, which is unfortunate.
