heyo- i made https://www.cutestrap.com/ https://www.cutestrap.com/ and even though i haven't been using it much anymore, i share it to say I've thought a lot about CSS and I agree with your sentiments.
I think a lot of the complexity in CSS is accepted because of complexity in other parts of the stack. I've dug pretty deep into real-world use cases of many approaches to front end and ultimately, tailwind solves the #1 issue people encounter daily.
Fear Of Breaking Something Else Entirely
by never leaving the html tag for a secondary resource, confidence today is gained at the cost of future compound complexity.
as someone that specializes in design systems, tailwind breaks my heart because it it fairly reductive in expression. Truly white-labeling a product is not as simple as changing variables, it is more like a zen garden of css.
