You are using the word "proper" twice as to indicate that it's well established what that means in terms of CSS. Adam felt that the idea of semantic names wasn't really working. This was an itch that I had myself without ever articulating and I think that the popularity of Tailwind shows that many developers felt/feel like that.

To say "proper classes" doesn't imply anything about CSS. Classes are a markup concept. The class attribute predates CSS; CSS's selector language lets you target "class-ified" elements, but it's not like classes were invented for CSS.
