The point I was trying to make was just because Tailwind doesn't happen to be expressive enough to get you into that particular kind of mess isn't a reason to use it. True, its fair to say you can write bad CSS or SASS, but that's the same for all programming languages. If your main goal is something foot gun free and safe for the inexperienced, might as well go all the way and recommend low/no code or even Squarespace.
I think the reason a lot of ppl think they need tailwind, is because a) they aren't familiar enough with more current CSS techniques like CSS modules and linting which can limit stuff like nested descendant selectors and/or b) they're tricked into thinking they won't have to learn as much about CSS (a dangerous fallacy unless you're sticking to the most basic of prototypes!).
