As an example, in JAWS users can navigate the table cell by cell, going up/down/left/right, get information on what headers apply to the current cell, etc. Many users wouldn't just load the page and have it read top to bottom...they'll be skipping around, increasing the speed to get an overview, jumping back to certain sections, and - in this case - navigate the table to find out its contents.
