The trouble is not populating it. The trouble is that tables, even though structured semantically, give you absolutely no functionality. There are no search, filter, sort, or selection features that you get.

Javascript arrays have functions for all of that, so if you use something like React and renders your table from data arrays then it's all pretty trivial. I guess the point is that if you have to use JS to do those manipulations, then at some point it's going to be easier to just the React(/Vue/Svelte/etc) approach than manipulating the table yourself using the API described in the article.
