"Help, More Information" for Table states:
Table effectively uses Block to localize values or variables.
But
Clear[u];
Table[u = i^2, {i, 5}];
u
Clear[u];
Table[u = i^2;, {i, 5}];
u
In both cases the value 25 for u is given.
If u were really local, it should have no value outside of the Table
For me there is a contradiction that can cause a lot of trouble
