You're just using someone else's padding and margin classes. At least when you write your own it makes sense instead of Tailwind's alphabet soup bloat.
Not really. Tailwind lets you configure your own spacing and breakpoints. You get to pick what those numbers mean.

That's just a CSS variable. You don't need Tailwind for that.
Never said you did. I was just explaining that you aren't "using someone else's padding and margin classes".

They are CJS modules or (ideally) Typescript. CSS custom properties (variables) are slightly different.
import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'
export default {
content: [],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
} satisfies Config
Personally I think that's way better than putting padding & margin in your own css classes.
It actually cuts down a lot on the custom css you need to write and also helps having a uniform design.
