Since you've given a solution on how to configure default table output for Azure CLI, this question should also have a solution for Azure PowerShell.

The easiest solution I can think of is just piping the output to Format-Table e.g. Get-AzResourceGroup | Format-Table -AutoSize.

You can have a look for more information at Format Azure PowerShell cmdlet output.
