It's kinda right. React says manage complexity through encapsulation, CSS as intended to be used says impale straight through the layers via global namespace and a brittle rats nest of interdependency via the side-channel of selectors. CSS as simply a DSL for styling components and hooks into the layout engine like how other GUI frameworks work is fine, but you don't need a framework for that. We all generally agree that inheritance is hard to keep clean but in CSS it's venerated for some reason.
