As you say, you can already do most of this by setting 'scrolloff' to
a large number.

If the cursor is really fixed at one position then using "j" would mean
that the cursor remains in the same position and the text scrolls.
That goes against what most people expect.  I think it's not all that
useful.  And we have too many options already...
