Bare HTML is pretty bad for accessibility. For example, you get no maximum width, making websites painful to read in a wide window.

CSS is this weird thing where it has dominance as a layout engine because it is so battle tested compared to a lot of other layout engines, but was clearly designed by a committee that could give a rat’s ass about how ergonomic it is to use.
It took until 2023 to support nesting, something that was so obvious that preprocessors have had it since at least 2006.
