You're experience is so common that there are sites like "https://css-tricks.com/" https://css-tricks.com/". I feel the problem here is that when they were making the standards, they for whatever reason separated the content from the layout and styling. I think XAML is actually an incredible example of well implemented layout and styling. I can do the layout graphically, and I can adjust the layout intuitively using XAML for those things that can't be done graphically. I can dive further into it and apply styling also through XAML. From a developer experience perspective, XAML is what a developer is looking for. HTML+CSS has it's roots in authoring pages of content, not applications and it clearly shows. They've attempted to evolve both to become application development languages and they're just not meant for that. The WWW really needs something akin to XAML+C#, maybe in this case a hybrid layout/styling language combined with TypeScript (IMO). All languages have their merits and their shortcomings, but for a web application developer, thank your lucky stars that CSS Frameworks exist.
