And of course, the original sin of the misuse of HTML tables for layout.

Hardly a sin - there were no alternatives at the time (1996 - 1998) if you wanted a tabular or grid layout.

Sure, but developers continued to use tables long after there were alternatives.

The first edition of Zeldman’s seminal book Designing with Web Standards [1] was released in 2003; two additional editions were released in 2007 and 2009.
