Professional jigsaw blades are thicker. At least some of them. And so they are more rigid so they don't bend too much and they can make a better vertical cut in wood. The long professional jigsaw cutting blade that I show in this video is 0.5 millimeter thicker than a usual long jigsaw blade. And that can also be a problem, because to use it we may need a professional jigsaw that has a guide wheel with a wider groove. Because that pro cutting blade probably won't fit into the groove of the guide wheel of most DIY jigsaws.

Here I show how I made my jigsaw jig with bearings to keep the blade vertical so it doesn't bend to the sides when I cut wood:
