That's because the tools in place to override a tabling are the 2/3 vote tools.

Make everything 2/3 vote and you increase the need for the dealings that override the current 2/3 vote tools.

    Bills can be forced out of committee to the floor via a discharge petition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_petition), but it requires a 2/3 vote.
