To map unambiguously to the xray data model, an external dataset needs to be explicitly labeled with axis names and tick labels. 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
