People used to say this a lot about Bootstrap.
Someone set up a bootstrap or not? guessing game and the real surprise was that you not only failed to spot some bootstrap sites you also guessed a lot of non-bootstrap sites were bootstrap because they all used the same modern UX paradigms.

I think what they're actually experiencing is that they can instantly tell a default Tailwind site with reused components, which is not much of a claim at all.
