 > As the implementation would be completely different in any case, there's
 no use for a base class.

 Consider that the implementation between admin area list-tables is
 different for each type of object being listed, but them sharing a base
 class is (I think) pretty helpful for defining the mechanics of how a
 list-table works regardless of it's type.

 Similarly, the mechanics of stashing the current *thing*, switching to a
 new *thing*, and restoring the original *thing* are pretty common
 (consider `$wp_query` or `wp_reset_postdata()` for existing examples).
