I would rather argue, forcing browsers to not only implement tables but sortable and filterable tables would give such a standard an immediate leg up over the existing web and browsers and is absolutely something people working with text documents would gain benefit from. There are two issues with tables: One, they are not in the CommonMark spec and as such many parsers will not support them out-of-the-box, and two, the syntax as implemented in GitHub-flavored Markdown (which is what is commonly understood as a "Markdown table") is incredibly complex compared to any other standard or not-standard-but-common Markdown feature. Thus, I would not expect very resource-limited systems to be able to support them. That said, I'd expect that any KyuWeb browsers that reach widespread use on modern every-day systems would support tables, so unless you're interested in browsing KyuWeb on old IBM PC systems or the like, the issue is largely moot.
