You have a great point. Browser UI elements are stuck in time and all the attention now is directed to things that Google can make money from (e.g. DRM, sandbox for rich apps/extensions, webrtc for their video call products, etc)
but your cited site is not a good advocacy of that.
Not even the most exalted UI framework fix the most obvious problems with those either. e.g. tables still won't hold the header and first column(s) while scrolling.
Most of the these elements does not help consuming information, like carousels. And any true UX designer abhor them all for the fallacy they are.
It's all red :( No support anywhere but Firefox. In fact, I will now use this URL as my main argument in support of firefox!
even the grand-parent, javascript infused solutions, only two out of 20 support this extremely basic and obvious use case.
Web UI standards are a joke. Everyone involved only cares about rich ads and accordions/carrousels which are lame ways to shove lots of content in a badly designed space.
