You’re getting confused between two different things with the same name. This use of “table stakes” means something like the minimum buy-in to join the table or the table’s minimum bet to play a hand. When used as an analogy, the table stakes are just features expected of anyone, not something special to advertise. For example, you wouldn’t say “I’m the best driver because I have a driver’s license and car insurance” – those things are just “table stakes” for drivers.
