Who thought that pressing enter on a link in org mode should not open the link when it's in a table would be a reasonable default and why?

And even if you have a good answer to the first question, why is there no variable that makes it possible to activate the behaviour 99% of users would except?

I think naming funktions "org-<key>" is a horrible design, and that is mostly unique for org-mode I know no other package that does that, so it's breaking standard coding practises in emacs, but then also add such bad defaults and no way to configure it in a sane way drives me insane.

It's a enourmous effort to not use standard keys, but please I am not willing to press some finger destroying C-c C-o, my health is to important to me to want that, and in no case I ever want to behave <return> to jump to the next line when the cursor is on a link. Does really somebody want this behaviour this way? You prefer pressing C-c C-o over <return>?

Sorry for the rant, I need to make some tea... cheers.

org-return-follows-link is set to <t> in this example btw, so normally return would open the link, just not in a table.
