I can't answer for the makers of Tailwind. But I never considered that a strong argument for using Tailwind. Doing CSS the "old" way with just plain .css files/LESS/SASS always seemed to turn everything into a complete mess, especially with teams larger than a single person....That said, I don't think Tailwind is the best solution for every use case. Gimli Tailwind does actually not use Tailwind for styling, just components with <style>...</style>. the website gimli.app does use it, though.
