This seems like a radical, unsupported conclusion to draw from a single frontend architecture decision.
Maybe there's an overwhelmingly positive case to be made for high-abstraction CSS with hidden structures. Outside those few select cases, we've known the tradeoffs for 25 years, and the added complexity is rarely worth it.
