Good question! There are a few things. First, you can’t make a table that doesn’t have specifically typed vertical columns, which means a bunch of layouts just aren’t possible (you can kind of fake it with all text columns, but it gets messy. You also can’t hide the column headers. You’re forced to have a name column, and your table has to have a title (you can make the title a space but that feels like a hack). There’s just lots of chrome. Even if you lock the table, you still have the lock icon and the new row button that will never go away. These things may all seem minor, but they really do make tables not look or feel “simple”. To be clear, I’m absolutely fine with the existing tables for certain purposes, and I don’t want them changed… I just wish there was a “Simple Table” block type as well.
