This was crossposted to tex stackexchange where Metafox replied:

Some environment with instances let you set certain options only for all
instances and not only a single one, the spacebefore and spaceafter
settings for floats are such a option.
This means only the following setup is possible
\setupfloat
[spacebefore=2*line,
spaceafter=2*line]
but not this one where I change only the values for the table instance.
\setupfloat
[table]
[spacebefore=2*line,
spaceafter=2*line]

I am curious as to why this design choice was made. Does it make sense to
change these to per-instance (basically change `\rootfloatparameter` with
`floatparameter` in page-flt.mkiv).
