This determination happens based on the contents of the field when the table is first opened. This can be surprising in cases where a string matches a shorthand notation for a set of coordinates. Specifically in this example the value 'AUS3364' is a US national grid short notation for coordinates.Workaround
The id_event_X and id_event_Y fields can be removed from the CSV table view by creating a schema.ini file with the Col7=id_event Text contents. For more information on schema.ini files, refer to the following documentation link: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/tables/add-an-ascii-or-text-file-table.htm
