The question then becomes, why didn't Ben, John and (apparently) Sun, (who I think stole the canoe and with Pilot Guy in present day) jump to 1977 as well?
Perhaps the show's anti-paradox time travel rules here forbid any situation where present day and past/future day people could interact. If Tween Ben is already there in '77 (or due anyday) then the island blocked him. Perhaps this is why Charlotte had to die.
Personally, I like the idea that Ben first meets the Lost as a teen and has known and been waiting for their first arrival all this time.
Going farther afield here, then perhaps Sun is there too as a child. I wouldn't be surprised by a link between her wealthy family and Dharma.
As for John? Well, he's "special" and that's enough for me.
