A lot of decoders do interpolation and the 28 step speed tables work with 128 step mode. Others ignore the speed table entirely unless controlling the loco with 28 speed steps.
If you are using deocders other than a Tsunami, you can use CV2, 5, and 6 in a 3-step table and get close enough speed matchign for MU and get nice response curves for both switchign and road use, and even make it different for say a commuter loco vs a freight loco. Easy to use sliders or not, the 28 step tables seem like more work than necessary, of course some decoder manufacturers have unwisely decided not to impolement all of the other 3. They HAVE to have CV2, but 5 for top speed and 6 for mid speed are optional.
