to_dataframe() always returns a DataFrame with an index based on coordinate values. I guess we could return a trivial integer index, but this feels a little weird/non-consistent to me particularly because it breaks round-tripping. On the other hand, it is basically exactly what pandas does.

One compromise might be adding an index=False option to to_dataframe() (e.g., ds.to_dataframe(index=False)), which would always create a trivial index (rather than a MultiIndex) and thus obviously break round-tripping.
