If that's so, someone ought to be able to point at some examples. <br>
<br>
Supposing that someone can produce examples, the argument for removing
frames from HTML5 becomes: "frameset has been in HTML till now, <i>but
is being removed because we do not like it</i>. If you insist on such
use cases, re-architect them." That's a misuse of standards.<br>

If your premiss is correct, backward compatibility.<br>

Both <frameset> and <iframe> are a source of several issues.
Everything that can be achieved with <frameset> can be done through
<table>+<iframe>.
What'd be the point of keeping two sources of issues when one can be
enough to cover all use-cases?
Since <iframe> can handle all the use-cases for <frameset>, and some
that <frameset> just can't, it's obvious which one to drop.
