A table has semantic meaning: it’s for presenting tabulated data, not for building layouts. That’s why they behave the way they do and require the format they require. Table layouts have always been a hack, it’s just that for awhile there weren’t better options.
Again, you are insane if you’re still doing table layouts in 2023.
You’re insane if you think doing layouts with tables is easier than flexbox/grid.
