Consider the following reprex (tested with quarto 0.9.424):

````markdown
---
title: "Table vs. kable"
engine: knitr
---

A Markdown table is *not* striped:

|  a|  b|  c|
|--:|--:|--:|
|  1|  6| 11|
|  2|  7| 12|
|  3|  8| 13|
|  4|  9| 14|
|  5| 10| 15|

But a table generated with `knitr::kable()` is striped (besides other minor differences):

```{r}
data.frame(a=1:5, b=6:10, c=11:15) |> knitr::kable()
```
````

Although the output of the code cell is exactly equal to the Markdown table in the example (the first table), the output look different, most notably only the `kable` is striped:

I would have expected that the tables use the same style by default. If this is not desired, is there a way I can make them the same?
