I'm not sure I understand what you mean. How could you display completion
candidates without moving the modeline? I suppose what you have in mind
is posframes? But posframes are a completely different beast, and don't
work in terminals AFAIK.
For that matter, I also don't understand why users "don't like such jumps
even once". The point is to make some room to display some information,
the same happens in many cases, like when *Completions* is opened, or with
popular packages such as Magit or which-key.

That could be tweaked, perhaps. But I'm not sure it's worth the price.
