nodejs-spanner: Spanner table.read() returns a list of column name-value pairs. Why not an object?

The response of calling table.read(query) is a list of rows, but the row isn’t a native object, instead it’s a key-value pair-style object:

[ [ { name: 'id', value: { [Number: 1] value: '1' } } ],
 [ { name: 'id', value: { [Number: 2] value: '2' } } ],
 [ { name: 'id', value: { [Number: 3] value: '3' } } ]

Why wouldn’t we match these up as a proper object? Since we don’t customers end up having to write a helper-snippet just so they can pass around a useful object… That is, it’d be nice if the rows returned were…

[ {id: '1'}, {'id': '2'}, {'id': '3'} ]
