> Personally, I probably would publish substantial changes to software regardless, but if the only thing I do is change a line of CSS, I also don't think it's right to force me to have to set up infrastructure to publish my modified source.
The modified CSS is already being distributed to the user, so I think the requirement is being satisfied.
Now, if you are producing CSS from a different source language, like SASS, you might have to provide that, as it would be the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it" .
Similar logic would apply to minified JS, I think.
But in any case, your fear of having to set up infra is overblown. A link to a GitHub or Gitlab repo would suffice (you do have your changes under version control, right?), or a tarball in Google Drive, or any number of other "dumb" solutions. And keep in mind that none of this applies unless your deployment is public- (or client- or customer-) facing. If your use of the modified software is internal to your organization (which includes employees, contractors, and even vendors) the changes can stay private.
