I would have construed that as a drawback, or am I missing something?
That is, the benefit of using "pure" HTML (i.e. non-CSS) tables is that
they appear correctly even when CSS is turned off.

Oh, hang on. Now I get it. The point is that when you turn CSS off,
the graphics get turned off *consistently*. You get no graphics, no
corners, just plain old text content for your table. The user can't
turn off fancy graphical tables when they're embedded in "pure" HTML.
They're stuck with whatever the web designer gives them (which is why
some web designers would construe it as a drawback rather than the
feature that it is).
Extra nice.
