We leave CSV parsing to pandas.

Pandas dataframes, for example, only make sense because they are explicitly labeled by an index (row labels).

As far as I can tell, tabular data packages does not describe data with such labels, but rather does generic tabular data. That's great, but xray is a not a tool for generic tabular data (it requires more structure), and importing this data through our interface to pandas provides a clean way to indicate this structure

We have first class support for reading/writing pandas data frames, which generally seems like a much better fit for generic tabular data.

If tabular data packages has direct support for multi-dimensional arrays then this could make sense. Otherwise, users probably should be explicitly converting to and from tabular formats.
