Add an open attribute table button to ribbon for rasters layers

When you select a feature layer in the Contents pane the Ribbon shows a Data tab for which you can access a variety of tools, a button I use almost hourly is the Attribute Table button that simply opens the attribute table. Yes I know I could have done CRTL+T or right clicked on the layer but the ribbon is what I tend to use.

Now an Integer raster typically has an attribute table which I will want to view and interact with it. For example select a row and that selection feeds into the zonal stats tool.

The ArcPro user experience is not the same when you access a raster layer, there is no button to open the attribute table associated with the raster.

I would like to see an open attribute table button in the ribbon. Happy for it to be greyed out when raster is a float, that makes sense.

Now I know I can customise the ribbon and add such a button but for the sake of having a consistent user experience such a button should be part of the default interface, no one should need to be messing around with creating custom groups for a button that gets used by everyone every day!
