Well, yeah, the entire point of Tailwind is to not use CSS like it was supposed to be used.
Some people like this better. It reminds me of people that used to adjust the format of every single text area on Word instead of using styles. And on some contexts, that's even objectively better.
But most of the time it's just a bunch of developers arguing against generalization and encapsulation. I don't understand it either.
Anyway, just to add a bit:
> The only real limitations with CSS imho was just lack of variable support for easily passing in variables to set color schemes and/or dimensions etc.
Nowadays CSS has variables support that you can use for that.
