Honest question... why?
Can you tell me, without looking at the implementation, what effect `btn-atc-primary` applies when the user hovers? No... you cannot.
It's less important to have "clean" looking markup than it is to be unambiguous in intention and implementation. If you read a component that uses Tailwind classes, you know - without any doubt - what it does and what it looks like. That's pretty cool...
