Same, I can't stand sticky headers, especially on anything involving longform text content. They also make web archiving significantly harder as scrolled screenshots cant be easily stitched together anymore to get the whole page.
What other way is as convenient and available but better?
Printing as PDF doesn't save the content exactly as it's shown in the browser and a plugin I used for a while in the past was pretty unreliable.
Screenshots work on any device with a modern browser and usually I don't want to capture the entire page anyway but just specific interesting parts.
I understand the sentiment but at some point you're asking for the underlying CSV file. In my opinion a little gear icon which lets you toggle sticky headers and other formatting options and downloadable data as plain text is ideal but good luck standardizing such things.

Sounds like your problem are not sticky headers but the "smart" semi-sticky ones that hide or show dynamically as you change scrolling direction, hiding content in exactly the place the user is looking at.
