As Jim said, that's how table styles were implemented right from the beginning.
Here are the relevant commits:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ac6f8bc92b1abe995694602f43d8ad108b7030fb

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=73f4a06c0bce51c7c8b9ae9adfdc7ffac27d06b4

I don't think that the current behavior was on purpose; it just that the
implementation was not completed, and no one made any fixes to it since initial
introduction.

It's not that simple, e.g. table styles support banded columns and a different
last column, so when deleting columns the formatting of the nearby columns
might need to be adjusted. Of course this should not touch direct formatting
that was explicitly applied by the user.

That commit only made the table insert dialog apply the table style, instead of
just direct formatting based on it. You could reproduce the bug before it, by
manually applying a table style from the sidebar.

Table templates ("AutoFormat") is exactly how it used to work before the table
styles work. I'm not sure that reverting the table styles work is good idea in
the long run. It will be better to find and fix the bugs in it.
