Basically, this work like how we use <table> for layout before css was a thing.

Now with the semantic web dead, can't we just use table like the good old days?

Grid is much more powerful than the table.

And accessibility is not dead.

Making the table responsive while there are hardcoded html tags would be hell compared to media queries in css (grid).

In the early days, all you needed is one layout, and seeing the structure of your html tags was intuitive.

Today, you use "table" tags for mainly tables and css for layouts. Separate of concerns?

Not as many viewports to support back then. Look at the hacks suggested to get tables to be responsive over a decade ago: https://css-tricks.com/responsive-data-tables/

Using tables were hell compared to Grid. First time I've seen this described as "good."
