Nothing. But tables are for tabular data.

And webpages are a document presentation format. If jamming applications into documents made the web an application platform, than jamming grid layouts into tables made them a grid widget.

Calling a SPA a "page" is a larger and more ridiculous lie than calling the table tag a grid layout widget. Anyone still committed to the table tag lie should move all their apps out of the browser today.

Web developers can work around the table tag, but not the fact they're jamming apps into documents. So one of these lies is taken more seriously than the other.
