You're speaking as if table layouts are equivalent to CSS grid layouts. They're not, otherwise `display: table-cell` would have been enough.

This is a very fair point. For instance, you can't do the sticky footer Flexbox example with a table layout: https://philipwalton.github.io/solved-by-flexbox/demos/stick... (or, at least, I can't immediately think how you'd do it, but hey, it's late, and it's been more than a decade since I've used tables to lay things out...)
