This sounds like saying cascading helps in simple cases but when it gets more complex it doesn't help. I don't think anyone really has a big problem writing maintainable CSS for a document. It works fine there. Most CSS methodologies (like BEM) and frameworks (like Bootstrap, Tailwind) are there to help write maintainable CSS code for complex non-document web designs, where a big part of that is taming cascading. I think a lot of pushback against approaches like Tailwind and JS frameworks are from people that are mostly styling documents. Complex landing pages and UIs are where the real headaches are.
