Might only partly related, but I have had the same exact problem for years until I start using web components. Having to handle the CSS only for small bits at a time, in a contained environment made it much more logical and understandable to me. Most likely because it is more obvious to understand where to put specific CSS to achieve a certain behavior. I guess that small components tend to fit better with how my brain is wired as a mainly back-end developer. I know react and others are also using the same strategies lately, but most of my experience is with WC.
