Except that’s exactly where tables should be used. So if you can’t, someone has really misunderstood CSS.
Use it for tables, not for layout.

I agree, but it is funny to me that your Hacker News comment is itself a table. It's in the same vein as "don't freak out, but there's a spooky skeleton inside you!"
I’ve gotten in several arguments over the years where webdevs insisted on showing tabular data using flexbox or hardcoded div widths or worse. They insisted that html tables were never ever to be used and couldn’t be persuaded.
