It's an incredibly flexible toolkit. Not calling it bad!
It just isn't cut along the seams we'd cut it along if we were building it fresh.
There's tons of evidence in the record-of-innovation that people are iterating around these problems--so I suspect there are plenty of people who have indeed internalized this to some degree. But I also see a lot of continual coverage that indicates this realization hasn't diffused.
(I don't want to pretend to have invented the wheel, but for example I see the fights around semantic VS functional tailwind-style css as hinging on this. Functional css makes sense for layouts as it collapses pointless separation; semantic classes make sense for documents which are more likely to evolve or get restyled without new markup.)
