Why should I use React Table ?
I just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFCxPo0kOGk
however even after watching it and reading the docs I still don't understand... Why should I use RT instead of just copying the source code of a table from some Tailwind component library and just changing the header and row data?
Is it simplicity, rendering efficiency, or smth else?

It's written literally on the frontpage of the TanStack Table website. https://tanstack.com/table/v8

It's not about styles here, it's about functionality. It's Headless which means you can use whatever you want to style it after. You can put Tailwind into it without a problem. The advantage here is all the functionality that you don't have with the standard table
