It might seem a bit strange, but there is a good amount of value in wrapping native DOM elements. The easiest way to describe it would be when using bootstrap.
<Input />
could return
<input class="form-control" />
Now, you don't have to type `class="form-control"` on every single input, and if you want to move away from bootstrap, you can remove it all in one place.
That is just an abstraction over regular tables allowing them additional functionality not present in regular HTML. Of course you can use the standard table markup.
