I liked and used bear when it just came out, but it is moving at a glacial pace when it comes to adding certain important features, such as adding support for tables and equations.

Bear has a very good story when it comes to sync with the iPhone. But if you need cross-platform support, tables, equations, and such features org-mode, Typora, etc. are much better options.

If tables and equations are "crucial" it's not just about a notes app anymore...

why can't a note have tables and equations? Both seem quite useful (equations especially as that's just a compressed sentence in a way)

We can, but they introduce tons of challenges in rendering and display, change the serialization format (whereas basic stuff can just be edited and viewed as plain text) etc.

Besides where does one stop in a note taking app? One could also ask for footnotes, bibliography management, graphs and plots, handwriting recognition, PDF management, and so on...

Bear supports Latex. You can try writing your equations and tables in a Latex code block.
