This is basic HTML5 literacy. At the end of the day the new HTML5 and CSS features do not fit into out dated work practices and the excuses that go with it. Web content creators and developers should be familiar with all of this stuff and not kidding themselves that the 'sea of divs is the way to go because we do really important projects and need to have polyfills back to IE6'.
Not using the new tags and not using CSS grid is a bit like only eating fast food and no longer knowing how to use a knife and fork. When I look at div soup I know that the team behind the page have not got it yet. None of the div soup HTML is maintainable. It is dated. So any 'wow you can use the details/summary' article comes across to me as 'wow, you have learned to wipe your own nose!' This whole industry needs to get to grips with the lingua franca of the web, focus on document structure, use the stuff that works in evergreen browsers and move away from big up front visual design made into div soup to content driven design. It is that simple and excuses are pathetic.
