This is certainly true for components, and Shoelace does style components this way (look at switches and tabs, for example). But for basic elements (non-components) IMO a clean reset is reasonable to expect.

Agreed, it's inconsistent. What if I want a <table> without borders?

Should I expect an <a> with `.text-success` to overwrite `.tab-group a`? Or do I need a new class for `.tab-group .text-success`?

Look at how BS4 broke up Navs from being `.navbar > li > a` to being .navbar, .navbar-item and .navbar-link and think about why they did.

Definitely some good arguments. Nothing is perfect, of course, and I'm always open to feedback like this.

In the meantime, a borderless table could be a modifier: table-borderless (i.e. like table-striped or table-bordered).

Just a different approach than what a lot of folks are used to :)
