Because columns and rows act very differently in terms of response to
data-entry. Columns do not auto-grow, but rows do.  Columns do not need to fit
all of the content, but rows do.

So, only three row options make sense.  1.) minimize (reduce the table size),
or 2.) equally space for symmetry (based on the largest row - increase the
table size).  3.) Additionally, I could see the value in combining minimize,
followed by an equally space (symmetry using the minimal space) with a
no-shrink requirement. This allows the bottom row to be increased to the
desired table size, and then that huge row is distributed among the other rows
(the situation described in comment 0).  [the user could also combine minimize,
followed by equally space to achieve minimal symmetry in a shrunken table.]
