Review Comment:
   I don't have strong opinions on this, but it seems now we move all spark 
specific control to 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/spark/v4.1/spark/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/spark/SparkTableProperties.java
 instead of 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/TableProperties.java
 in iceberg core.

Review Comment:
   I understand the desire to keep the original behavior, but considering the 
`table.newAppend` default to use mergeAppend, also the fact that other 
streaming engine integrations like Flink and Kafka Connect today use merge 
appends, I would be surprised to see the behavior difference in spark streaming
