Its a simple question but I want to know:

What is Jeet Kune Do for you? Isn't it a philosophy and not a style, why is it taught if it all goes down to the person in the end?

It is personal, just like your handwriting. But someone had to teach you how to write each letter, and what they each mean. It is up to you to express yourself through those letters any way you wish. I teach techniques, training methods, and tactics that work. The way that those are employed and in what priority are up to the individual. Aloha!
