Map wasn’t really the thing that enabled all of those designs, even though it was certainly often used to build them. We just didn’t have a million and one layouts and device sizes to handle back then and so you could get really creative with available space. Even CSS Zen Garden later on had designs that worked much better on the limited screen sizes of that era - which don’t work well today. Flat design trends killed off the rest of it I think.
