Looking at the comparison image between CSS grid lanes and CSS grid 1, the grid lanes example looks....horrifying. It looks like pinterest cancer. It makes the page look like a ragged assortment of random shit. Scannability is grossly impaired. How are you supposed to approach this content? What objective does this mess of a presentation accomplish? What kind of information lends itself to this kind of "masonry-style waterfall layout"?

There is a use case for grid lane and pinterest is a good example: random images where a user isn't looking for a particular image but is just browsing. That's also why the example looks bad, is because it prominently includes text, which isn't part of the use case. Scannability is terrible, this layout has a very limited use case. It really is only for browsing random images, not even searching for a specific image and definitely not concerned with text.
