That doesn't seem like a big enough win when CSS variables exist and offer far more readable options (as you're the one naming them). On that front, I reckon majority of Tailwind developers use far fewer variables than they believe, so it's not some gigantic monumental task where you have to set up a million different CSS variables.
This is the problem with Tailwind, it doesn't offer enough nor does it move faster than CSS to justify its existence. The only real use case for it seems to be solo developers that do not have the time or resources to set up their own baseline set of variables, or those that use it with a component library that's based on TW.
