I think the value of Bootstrap was consistency across browsers. The grid system was the most important part. With standard Grid, Bootstrap is effectively legacy - you shouldn't really be using it at this point.

Bootstrap first adopted Flexbox for its grid system Bootstrap 4 (2018), and Bootstrap 5 (2021) added support for Grid. It's conservative about supporting new web standards, but I wouldn't personally think of it as a "legacy" framework.

They absolutely are not tables though.

They weren't <table>s through, meaning they could be easily made responsive.

“Gridlike layout” != “tables”.
