The table indexing syntax is specifically used for 2-dimensional arrays
while the variable indexing can be used to index into any number of
dimensions.

It would be nice to be able to use the familiar table syntax in the case
of 2-D arrays. This shouldn't be hard to implement, the indexing
behavior is defined in the `org-babel-ref-index-list' function which
could be extended to read in org-table type syntax, or it may not be
difficult to write a function which translates the table syntax to the
variable syntax.
Although ultimately it may be simpler just to keep the two separate.
