CSS Grid isn't about replicating the table experience, it's closer to native support for css grids like bootstrap etc.
The major advantage is its flexibility and ease in creating responsive layouts that look good at every screen size. One example is the minmax property: I want all these products in a grid, large enough to fit all their names. If you have the space, make the bestsellers larger and include the description. Oh, and they should really line up vertically and horizontally.
There's nothing that was completely impossible before, but there are a million hacks that we can finally discard, like all the shenanigans I've had to play with negative margins over the years.
