You can actually read tables in pages with VO using one of two methods. There is a command to convert the table to text in the Format menu but you have to locate the table first.
The other method is to select the table, then open the inspector, select Wrap, Then, in the object placement section choose floating. The table then shows up as an additional item on the page and you can edit it. As for Apple doing something about Pages accessibility, I've been pestering for years about this and not much has changed.
