The problem is that people like you come to the wrong conclusion that
obselete code is still fine to use and there is no reason at all to use
newer techniques for new websites.

No, there is need for this. Because you can not make sure, that *all*
browsers including *future* version will support the invalid code the
same way. But I guess, doing constant compatibility testing with all new
browser versions to make sure that invalid HTML will be displayed as
intended is not a waste of time and money for you.

Did you ever do a website or a web based application professionally?
