A point I've not seen anyone make here (apologies if I missed some
postings) is that tables are still required for reliable (?) layout in
HTML e-mails. So perhaps it's as well that they be legitimate. It
doesn't mean we are required to use them for layout in browsers.

Tables shouldn't be used in e-mails either, because we don't know how
screen readers and other assistive technologies use the output produced by
an email client.
If the output is serialized, implying that only text will be read aloud,
there tables or not tables doesn't make any difference.
