Tailwind is not an abstraction. Tailwind is just another language to write CSS, at the same abstraction level as plain CSS, but with the benefit of being terse and in the same file as the markup. Tailwind actually removes a large part of CSS's abstractions (The "Cascading" part), which gives the huge benefit of being able to copy paste code and know exactly how it will look.
