Fully agree. Seems like the author pointed out one thing - that there are increasing numbers of units usable in CSS, doesn't really talk about why that's bad, and then wraps it up.
I think there's a general anxiety some devs have about how much CSS has been developed in the past few years, and I think that partially comes from not being able to keep track of all the changes anymore. Like it wasn't uncommon a few years ago to have a few CSS experts on your team that felt comfortable with every single thing in the CSS spec, but now that's becoming a little less common as the spec and implementation in browsers evolve and grow. But I think that doesn't mean there's a "tragedy" of CSS. I think it means CSS is becoming more complex, but to me it's generally been in the right direction.
