They most certainly do. The entire earth beneath the house moves up and down -- how do you then prevent the wall from doing the same?

That's true only if you have a very bouncy floor; in that case yes, a wall mount is the best solution.

Ideally, a house built on a thick slab, as far away from civilisation as possible, and a suspended table bolted directly to the slab.
On a more practical note, a floor as rigid as possible, and a suspended table sitting directly on the floor.
