For me it won because I view tailwind as vanilla CSS with a nicer syntax (mostly) and sane defaults that makes your website look decent out of the box. With the prettier autosorting plugin, the classes are ordered in a predictable fashion, making it easier to read than one would imagine.
It's not a perfect replacement for vanilla CSS and I still fall back down to writing plain old CSS for stuff like box shadows or more interesting grid layouts, and using tailwind modifiers like different screen sizes is less than ideal with having to prefix every single CSS property with the same modifier.

Just that we have now evolved in our sense of visual design tastes / whats possible has changed over the decades, maybe.
