I personally don't think extracting component classes is a useful tailwind feature. IMHO it is really quite similar to using HTML attributes for styling or inline styles. Maybe those wheren't actually such terrible ideas. They are the easiest thing for a beginner to understand, so maybe they are actually the easiest way to reason about styles for non-beginngers too. What makes it different is: - higher level component frameworks: wether you use react, vue, web components or use a templating engine in a component pattern, that is all the abstraction you need. Introducing an additional layer of abstraction/reuse with shared CSS classes is uneccessary overhead. - constraints: the scales for spacing, color, typography and everything else that you configure for tailwind lead to nice, consistent designs without much effort. I think that would be a key problem when just using inline styles.
