 Hi @calumbrash, thanks for opening a ticket.

 WordPress has included the minified version of jQuery in its current
 location since [4904]. I dug around to see if we had ever made a conscious
 decision, but [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21736#comment:7 this
 comment] probably says it best.

 If WordPress were to start serving jQuery at `jquery.min.js`, then we
 would also need to provide a backwards compatible fallback at `jquery.js`,
 which would increase the size of the WP project without much benefit.

 A related ticket is #43055, which deals with how JS may be organized in
 the project going forward.
