Icons aren't large enough to then also distinguish between deleting a row or column or table. That's what the label is for.

No. It's laziness and bad design. It's the most generic trash icon from the most generic icon set.
Same with "add row above/below" or the completely distinct action Create Filter/Filter by cell value.
They can be trivially improved with about 1 millisecond of conscious thought. Especially given the fact that these actions have been around in office software for literal decades, and more often than not with their own distinct icons.

Agreed, compare that to Quit Safari and Force Quit Safari below. One is X in a square, the other is X in a circle. Very confusing.
