That's what it looks like, yes.  Try a "grep tabulated-list-revert-hook
**/*.el" in Emacs's sources and see for yourself.

I don't know, but my guess is that it's perceived that
tabulated-list-entries would be called too often and would hence be too
taxing on CPU resources?

It would make sense for it to run after-revert-hook, I guess.
