From accessibility background: Please stop using CSS for table data. It does not translate to my screenreader.

Yes, but grids are everywhere in the UIs, not just the tables. In 2000-s, the problem was the opposite of what we have now: every interface was a table full of tables, because there was no other way to position things reliably.

But now we have best of both worlds: use <table> for the actual tables, and CSS grid for UI layouts.
