explain that?

It is implemented via an existed code(used by JList):
JavaComponentAccessibility.m:
498         if ([javaRole isEqualToString:@"list"]
499                 || [javaRole isEqualToString:@"table"]) {
....
668             if ([parentRole isEqualToString:@"list"]
669                     || [parentRole isEqualToString:@"table"]) {

It is already there:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8133713?focusedCommentId=14207364&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14207364

Note that it has a description of shortcuts which should be used for 
interactions with the table.
