I agree that all tables should have a summary. But, is it not helpful for
some layout tables to have a summary that describes their layout? Would
people with cognitive impairments find this helpful? Would some screen
reader users find this helpful?

I believe that we've now reached a point in our discussions where user
agents and checking tools can reliably determine the table purpose. User
agents can then have an option of giving the user the layout table summaries
or not.
