I agree with all of your points. I am kind of shocked that I had to scroll so far down to see point #3 on this thread at all.
CSS doesn't give the best toolset in order to do styling and organize styling. The locality of HTML structure and styling makes things far easier to work with.
I would also throw in that front end coding feels far more fickle and arbitrary. Tailwind allows me to define a set of rules and then apply them directly. It ends up being more maintainable when used in conjunction with component abstractions.
