There’s a lot I disagree with but I’ll point out one in particular.

Why is this the priority? If I wrote a language that was solely focused on removing duplicate code, and doing the minimum to appear decent, that would be a pretty bad language. I care a lot more about composability and readability than de-duplication and floor raising. Let’s face it. CSS comes from a fundamentally different situation than the modern web. I’m talking about optional styles that do not affect the content, that are written by one or two people, and likely total at most a few hundred lines. That is nowhere close to modern websites. Bemoan that all you like, it doesn’t change the reality.
