How often does a table row contain - a sole '\(` in one cell and - a sole '\)` in another cell? Virtually never [excluding verbatim/code, which is a different problem.] How often does LaTeX include `|'? Often: - absolute value, - parallel lines, - vector length, - set cardinality, - various norms, on and on. The use starts at elementary school level, so it is like Org reserving the minus sign in LaTeX for itself, which would be a similar usability disaster.
